Unfolding a Rose
It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of Allah's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
with these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers
is not known to such as I.
Allah opens this flower so sweetly,
When in my hands they die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of Allah’s design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
to unfold this life of mine?
So I'll trust in Him for leading
each moment of my day.
I will look to him for His guidance
each step of the pilgrim way.
The pathway that lies before me,
Only ALLAH knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.
