The MASTER GARDNER from HEAVEN ABOVE
Planted a seed in the GARDEN of LOVE
And from it there grew a rosebud small
That never had time to open at all,

For GOD in HIS perfect and all-wise way
Chose this rose for HIS HEAVENLY BOUQUET
And great was the joy of this tiny rose
To be the one our FATHER chose to leave
Earth's garden for ONE on high where roses
Bloom always and never die...

So, while you can't see your precious
Rose bloom, you know THE GREAT GARDENER
From the "UPPER ROOM" is watching and
Tending this wee rose with care, tenderly
Touching each petal so fair...

So think of your darling with the angels
Above secure and contented and surrounded
With love, and remember GOD blended and
Enriched your lives, too, for in dying
your darling brought
