The Silent Wheelchair

daisiesnfld: The Silent Wheelchair
.
The house reverberated with her voice
Bouncing off the walls and doors
In the hallways where once traveled
A silent wheelchair on the floor
.
A hairbrush on the dresser top
Held the white strands she had earned
A Bible on her bed night stand
Marked with passages she'd learned
.
Standing looking out her back door
Through lace covered window panes
Propped against an old porch swing
The well worn walking cane
.
But the flowers growing there
They spread far and wide and free
And in the climbing velvet roses
Was proof enough for me
.
She was not gone but simply done
Waltzed into heaven with a smile
Needing no wheelchair she walks there
Crowned silver hair coiffed in style
.
Knowing where she's living now
I'm reminding all of those
That came and gently kissed her brow
They have gazed upon a rose
.
