DELICATE ROSEBUD

He found her
the most lovely rosebud
a gentle blush of pink
sensitive beauty
her delicate perfume intoxicating to him
standing lovely in the sun
his sun, the sun of life, the Son of God,
simply beautiful and pure
smooth petals unfolding in his warmth, his smile
his words, his trust
the freedom of his heart
to let her bloom in all her magnificence
each petal unfolding in his love
with freedom and a dance of joy
to nurture
to keep in his heart
to love
