The Rose

by Rev. Barbara Schmidt, O.M.C.

Each vein in the petals

Reflecting life’s pathways

Starting on the main road

Zig zagging astray

Each stray pathway

Leading away from the Source

A cause for pain and hard learning

One by one, the petals,

Shaving shadings of life

From pink babe to ruby maturity

Drop away, acting as though

Beauty and depth are here to stay

Still beautiful, for a short time after the fall

Soon will come fading and withering

Dear Holy Spirit, thank you for

Showing me what needs to be done.

I asked for a sign of my dis-ease

I feel from the Source

No more wanting to please

Thank you for showing me

The pathways and choices are few

There is only one answer —

The answer is You.

I hear you whispering

“Stay tuned to your Source

Your troubles will be few

If to me, your commitment

You would renew.”
