A Single Rose

Nothing has been done in the yard for two years now. No flowers, except the perennials that have been forever planted. At my retirement, I was given a lovely little tea-rose planter. Have had those before. They never last long, no matter what I do. I took it to the patio and let Nature water it. Of course, it mostly died. When I got back from the hospital on Tuesday, I noticed with shock that there was one bud about to bloom. Where did that come from?? What a lovely sign of life! One single tiny rose, blooming in spite of its surroundings and care. Just like me. God provides. I'm listening.
