Flowers

1. Flowers are a precious gift

to us from God above.

They reassure us of His presence

and undying love.

Their colors, shapes, and sizes

were designed by God’s own hand.

Some are small and humble,

while the others are quite grand.

Flowers bring us JOY

and fill our heart with glorious song.

The birds and all creation

seem to try and sing along.

2. In the morning when the dew

shines on their petals bright,

It appears quite heavenly

and is a lovely sight.

Flowers seem to have

special awareness all their own,

and subtly, ever gently,

I believe they make this known.

Flowers breathe CONTENTMENT

in their stationary form,

as they sway in gentle breeze

in gardens they adorn.

3. They love to keep us company

though we are unaware.

The realization of this fact

can sometimes be quite rare.

Their individual colors

each create a various mood.

With love, devotion, peace, and CHEER

they seem to be imbued.

Daffodils bring joy,

while deep red roses speak of love.

Yellow roses are a symbol

of a peaceful dove.

4. Violets of remembrance

show devotion to all those

departed, though within our hearts

remain forever close.

God has myriad reasons

for these flowers it appears,

the least of which is not the fact

that they dispel our fears.

The flowers are clothed in BEAUTY,

in the bible we are taught,

even though they do not spin

and that they labor not.

5. God cares for every one of them.

His LOVE is just that deep!

And how much more He cares for us

awake or when asleep.

When you’re afraid or lonely,

try to think of that, my friend,

and pray each day into your life

a flower God will send!

“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 clothed

like one of these.  If that is how God clothes

the grass of the field, which is here today

and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,

will he not much more clothe you?”

Matthew 6:28-30
