A Red Rose

I have been blessed and inspired by my Black Prince rose these days. It only blooms once or twice a year so it's an exciting thing for me and my camera. I wanted a poem to go with this particular photo and it didn't take long to find one. Perfect!


       This rose began as a bud that was so dark red it looked black...                                                                                                                                                                                         


...but in 4 more days it looked like this. It's amazing to think that such red, velvety richness was hidden in there! Oh, what a Creator we have to create such beauty!



Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (Revelation 4:11)
