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