Our Rosebud

Have you ever seen a rosebud
Just opening in the sun?
The dewdrops shine like diamonds,
Slowly melting one by one.

The rosebud is your beauty,
Both outside and within.
The dewdrops are the years gone by
With memories, time and time again.

Now that you are on your own,
We can't always see
If things are going right or wrong,
The way it used to be.

When ere you see a rosebud,
Be reminded what we say,
Our pride in you, our solid love
Will last forever and a day.

One thing we are sure of
As your future takes its place,
Your loving heart will guide you
And God will bless you with His grace.
