A Rose of Value

You
Are a rose in your Heavenly Father's garden
Tenderly cherished
Tenderly
Loved

You
Are a rose
Unlike any other rose

A rose of infinite worth

You
Are a rose in your Heavenly Father's garden
He has planted you here
On earth
For a time
To learn and to grow.

He has given you opportunities to make choices
And nurture others.

You know this isn't always easy.

But

You
Are a rose of integrity.

You are a rose in your Heaven Father's garden.

And each day you will
Try to live in such a way that you will
Bloom
