| The Rosebud |
| *this one is kinda personal...sorry! God did pull me through that dark time though. Even Christians go through pain and the awful feeling of loosing someone you love...or breaking up with a boyfriend or girlfriend. God is right there by your side though, and as I said in the Ginny Owens devotional...you grow the most during those hard times...if you're in a tough time right now, reach out to God. His loving arms will hold you. He'll help you through it and He'll ease your pain. A yellow rosebud, tipped with red... To symbolize love, emerging from friendship. It was the first flower he gave me, And it still hangs on my wall. As the rosebud grew and bloomed, The yellow slowly faded to a deep crimson As our love grew and we became close Forever, it seemed, we'd be paired. Sweet words, his hand in mine, his gentle kiss Always in my mind. I saw his golden hair that shamed the sun, His blue eyes deeper than the sea. He held me close, I never wanted to let go But we grew apart, His voice no longer heard Nor his face seen. Work, friends, and that other girl Were more important that my heart That is bleeding on the floor in two, As my tears drown out the world And the rosebud withers nearby. |
