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 it 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 form the “Upper Room”
Is watching and tending this wee rose with care
Tenderly touching each petal so fair…
So think of your darling with 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!
