Poem

A Tiny Rosebud

A tiny new rosebud
So delicate and fragile
Needs tender loving care
It lays cradled in my hand
Yet I haven't the power
To unfold its tiny petals.

A tender red rosebud
Needs God's loving hands
To unpeel each petal
Slowly, ever so gently
One by one with care
In His own good time.
