A letter, poem I wrote to Rose called A Fly on the Wall:
Rose,
You’re like a fly on the wall with secret eyes gazing down, taking in the ways of man. The rotation continues, beauty won and goodness tips the scale as everyone knows your name. Your smile so bright, you were 'light itself' and the definition of joy has been shown to the world. The serpent lost while the sweet apple remained intact.
A love expressed so deep in your gaze, how could one walk by and not know you cared? The quiet mouse; The hungry hippo; The broken promise; The untold story; The faded color; The one that got away; The music that was not composed; A journey left undone; Doubt, fear, loneliness did not have a chance to exist in your presence. One could feel if you were lacking and you would lend a listening ear, holdfast a strong arm, maintain control in chaos, and your sweet song would bring chills, and we would be complete for a moment.
Rose, you saved thousands: 'Whoever saves a single life is considered to have saved the world' What does saving thousands do? A star is born! Your mark is eternal, engraved on our heart, etched into our souls. How do you count the ways of pure energy? Rose, 'a comet shedding light'. You can’t track your mark because you improved us and remains shared now in our marks. The ripple effect is immeasurable, not done by a ruler but by Gd himself.
Rose is training The Rainbow Unicorn and the ram’s horn shall be heard again! Soon we shall sing Shir Hama-alos and Rose's voice will echo through the walls again.
Thank you, Rosie, for choosing me and I choose you!
Ani Ohevet Otach (I LOVE YOU)
Shalom! Your mamma
