The Rose

A flower of God's design
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I
The flower God opens so sweetly
In my hands would fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud
This flower of God's design.
Then how can I think I have wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him for His leading
Each moment of every day,
And I'll look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.

For the pathway that lies before me
My Heavenly Father knows
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments
Just as He unfolds the rose.

"The best and most beautiful things in
the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart."
~Helen Keller~

"Gather the rose of love whilst yet is time."

a single friend, my world"

"The sweetest flower that blows,
I give you as we part.
For you it is a Rose,
For me it is my heart."

I am thankful that thorns have roses"

The Rose

(as performed by Bette Midler)

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love it is flower,
and you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes a chance.
It's the one who won't be taken
who never seems to give,
and the soul afraid of dying
that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been too long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter,
far beneath the winter snows,
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.

~Amanda McBroom~
