The Little Flower That Spoke

Click on photo to enlarge

1. One day in early morning, 
shortly after I awoke,
I had a brief encounter 

with a little FLOWER that spoke.
Though this may seem outlandish, 
please allow me to explain
my story to you now, 
as I recall it once again.

2. I was feeling burdened 

with a need to be refreshed,
and so I took a morning WALK 

to help relieve my stress.
The path I chose was strewn 

with wild flowers all around,
that swayed in very gentle breeze 

without making a sound.

3. I saw a Queen Anne’s lace 

that seemed to capture my attention.
I sensed its charming delicateness 

came right down from heaven.
I stopped to feel its soft white petals, 

as I gently smiled.
To my surprise, within my heart,

I felt it then REPLY, 

4. “My friend, remain at peace 

and do not fear for those you love,
for God will help each one of them 

right from his throne above.
Just FOCUS on enjoying your own life 

from day to day.
Smile and be happy 

as you travel on your way.”

5. I can’t express the peace I felt 

as joy flooded my soul.
I felt a calm replenished 

that my worrying had stole.
I pray my own experience 

will help someone in need,
if only insignificantly 

to plant a hopeful seed.
Remember if you ever need 

a little ray of HOPE,
you might recall my story 

of the little flower that spoke!

"See how the flowers of the field grow. 
They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you 
that not even Solomon in all his splendor 
was dressed like one of these." 
Matthew 6:28-29

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, 

for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own." 
Matthew 6:34
