The Tiny
Rosebud
God Picked To
Bloom
In Heaven
THE MASTER
GARDENER
From HEAVEN
ABOVE
Planted a
seed
In THE GARDEN OF
LOVE
And from it
there grew
A rosebud
small
That never had
time
To open at
all,
For GOD in HIS
perfect
And all-wise
way
Chose this
rose
For HIS HEAVENLY
BOUQUET
And great was
the joy
Of this tiny
rose
To be the one
our FATHER chose
To leave Earth's
garden
For ONE on
high
Where roses
bloom always
And never
die...
So, while you
can't see
Your precious
rose bloom,
You know THE
GREAT GARDENER
From the "UPPER
ROOM"
Is watching and
tending
This wee rose
with care,
Tenderly
touching
Each petal so
fair...
So think of your
Darling
With the Angels
above
Secure and
contented
And surrounded
by LOVE,
And remember GOD
blessed
And enriched
your lives, too,
For in dying,
your Darling
Brought HEAVEN
CLOSER TO YOU!
