Roses -
18th March 2003, 10:50 AM
This is a small poem somebody forwarded me.I was highly touched reading this,so i want to share it with u all..Hope u won't mind--
Red roses were her
favorites, her name was
also Rose.
And every year her husband
sent them, tied
with pretty bows.
The year he died, the roses
were delivered
to her door.
The card said, "Be my
Valentine", like all
the years before.
Each year he sent her roses,
and the note
would always say,
"I love you even more this
year, than last
year on this day.
My love for you will always
grow, with
every passing year."
She knew this was the last
time that the
roses would appear.
She thought, he ordered
roses in advance
before this day.
Her loving husband did not
know, that he
would pass away.
He always liked to do things
early, way
before the time.
Then, if he got too busy,
everything would
work out fine.
She trimmed the stems, and
placed them in a
very special vase.
Then, sat the vase beside
the portrait of
his smiling face.
She would sit for hours, in
her husband's
favorite chair.
While staring at his
picture, and the roses
sitting there.
A year went by, and it was
hard to live
without her mate.
With loneliness and
solitude, that had
become her fate.
Then, the very hour, as on
Valentines
before,
The doorbell rang, and there
were roses,
sitting by her door.
She brought the roses in,
and then just
looked at them in shock.
Then, went to get the
telephone, to call
the florist shop.
The owner answered, and she
asked him, if
he would explain,
Why would someone do this to
her, causing
her such pain?
"I know your husband passed
away, more than
a year ago,"
The owner said, "I knew
you'd call, and you
would want to know.
The flowers you received
today, were paid
for in advance.
Your husband always planned
ahead, he left
nothing to chance.
There is a standing order,
that I have on
file down here,
And he has paid, well in
advance, you'll
get them every year.
There also is another thing,
that I think
you should know,
He wrote a special little
card...he did
this years ago.
Then, should ever I find out
that he's no
longer here,
That's the card...that
should be sent, to
you the following year."
She thanked him and hung up
the phone, her
tears now flowing hard.
Her fingers shaking, as she
slowly reached
to get the card.
Inside the card, she saw
that he had
written her a note.
Then, as she stared in total
silence, this
is what he wrote...
"Hello my love, I know it's
been a year
since I've been gone,
I hope it hasn't been too
hard for you to
overcome.
I know it must be lonely,
and the pain is
very real.
For if it was the other way,
I know how I
would feel.
The love we shared made
everything so
beautiful in life.
I loved you more than words
can say, you
were the perfect wife.
You were my friend and
lover, you fulfilled
my every need.
I know it's only been a
year, but please
try not to grieve.
I want you to be happy, even
when you shed
your tears.
That is why the roses will
be sent to you
for years.
When you get these roses,
think of all the
happiness,
That we had together, and
how both of us
were blessed.
I have always loved you and
I know I always
will.
But, my love, you must go
on, you have some
living still.
Please...try to find
happiness, while
living out your days.
I know it is not easy, but I
hope you find
some ways.
The roses will come every
year, and they
will only stop,
When your door's not
answered, when the
florist stops to knock.
He will come five times that
day, in case
you have gone out.
But after his last visit, he
will know
without a doubt,
To take the roses to the
place, where I've
instructed him,
And place the roses where we
are, together
once again.
Sometimes in life, you find
a special
friend;
Someone who changes your
life just by being
part of it.
Someone who makes you laugh
until you can't
stop;
Someone who makes you
believe that there
really is good in the
world.
Someone who convinces you
that there really
is an unlocked door
just waiting for you to open
it.
This is Forever Friendship
kyon zindagi ki raah mein akele chalta hai dost
chal waha chal jahan tere jaise aur bhi hai...
