A rose...

          A rose,
faded glory,
                              wilting,
                                   dying.
          the hand
                              of God
                    reached out,
                                             plucked a petal.
                                        From the petal
grew
                    a rose,
          nor did
                              it wilt
                                        nor die,
          but grows
                                                  more beautiful
                              forever.
