Writen by a friend who wrote it before she passed away. She was only a sixth grader at the time.


It is only a tiny rosebud.
A flower of God's design.
But I cannot unfold the petals
With this clumsy hand of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I
God opens flowers so sweetly
When in my hand they fade and die

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

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

The pathway, which lies before me
Only the Heavenly Father knows
I'll trust in Him to unfold the moments
Just as He unfolds the rose.

Lovely poem sweetsavior! You are very talented. Thanks for sharing.

I knew I had read this poem years ago, so I looked it up on the Internet.

The author is "unknown" and the title is "The Rose."

I found the poem on:

www.cathyscorner2.com/tutorials/bloom/index.html

This beautiful poem is posted on several other websites.

When an author's work is quoted, posted, etc., it is common courtesy to give credit to the person who actually wrote it. In this case "author unknown."
