‘THE BEST IN ROSES" 
I 
GARDEN THOUGHTS 
And often in my garden 
As the days come to a close, 
I try to imagine Heaven 
Without a rose. 
Its walls of gold and jewels 
Would seem a little bare 
Without the beauty and fragrance 
Of a few roses There. 
And as I sit adreaming 
Of the great Eternity, 
I sometimes think it's Here 
With the Roses God gave to me. 
—H. N. Stevens.
