UNFOLDMENT

Mary C. R. Bickell

Let good unfold!

You cannot force a flower
To bloom before its Love-appointed hour,
Nor roughly pluck the petals of a rose apart
To reach its heart.

Oh, gently hold
The precious bud and guard with tender care
Until its fragrant blooming fills the air
With joy untold.

Let Love divine unfold
The perfect answer to your unselfed prayer.

Mary C. R. Bickell
