A poem about helplessness and acceptance. <3 all of you!
It's only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But I can not unfold the petals,
With these clumsy hands of mine;
The secret of unfolding flowers,
Is not known to such as I;
God opens this flower so easily,
but in my hands they die;
If I can not unfold a rosebud,
this flower of God's design;
Then how can I have the wisdom,
to unfold this life of mine,
So I'll trust in God for leading,
each moment of my day,
I will look to God for guidance,
in each step of the way.
The path that lies before me,
Only my Lord knows;
I'll trust God to unfold the moments,
Just as he unfolds the rose.
