A tiny rosebud stands alone
Simply God’s creation
I cannot reveal the petals
With my virgin hands
The mission to open the flower
Much too complex for me to know
God has power to open it unaided
Yet I cannot make it grow
Revealing the rosebud
Beyond my control
Alone I have not wisdom
To fill my heart’s hole
I’ll give Him my trust
Each and every moment of the day
I will look to him for direction
As I take baby steps on the way
My life lies here before me
Only God is in control
I will place my hope and confidence in Him
As He unfolds my rose.

Amazing
Great poem and I admire your faith. It's great when you finally trust God and see him as he truly is.
Anyway this was a beautifully written piece, I love the image of God opening a rose!

I LOVE YOU!
I'm so excited you've finally taken the leap and I'm so happy you're moving on. Congratulations! This poem is amazing and I love you!!! See you soon! -
medium rare, a bit tender on the edges, quite bloody...oh, wait thats my steak...
ignoring the verdict,(cause i think that line is stupid) i think the poem was done well, if i may just critisize your thinking, having an almighty supernatural force at your side is all good and well, but i think your putting him in too much control. God doesnt just do things for you. trust me, i know from experience. there isnt a night i didnt lay flat on my face last year praying for devine intervention. you might want to think about that. look in the bible maybe and see in what circumstances God intervined. its never been for day to day things. my philosophy in this matter is that devine intervention in most cases doesnt happen. its a rare thing i dont think i was blessed enough to see yet. but, devine inspiration there is. this is when ou do things because he inspired you to. if God were to use intervention so often, i think he wouldve stopped adam from eating the apple. so basicly, if it were my poem id put that twist there on the end. because (no offense, this is only my view) i see devine intervention as a very naive idea to put your full trust in.
peace.

I helped her come up with the title for this one and the title is more in refrence to the physical rose being unfolded because that is all God; we can't possibly to anything like that on our own. Also, you cann never give God too much control. I'm not syaing that He'll necessarily tell you what color shirt to wear or what to eat for breakfast (He trusts us enough to make those decisions lol) I have enough faith to believe that if need be and it is His plan, then He will intervene; however, I too believe in *daily* Devine Inspiration and Guidance. The Holy Spirit is working in our lives daily and helps guide us through life; however, it is our *choice* to follow that guidance or not. We can hear the guidance but not listen to it (I've done that many times and I regret it now because I want to know what would have happened had I actually listened.)
Anywho, none of this is meant in offence; what you said simply struck a chord in my heart and I felt led to comment and reply.
In His Peace and Needing Him

Exceptional
A beautifully written poem from start to finish. The verity of the words in the last lines spoken as soft as a rose petal, yet so strong in conviction. I really like that.
