the garden flowers...

The Garden Flowers

 

These flowers were sent to you

in hopes that you will see,

the beauty of the Lord's bounty

throughout eternity.

Just looking at these flowers,

and all their many hues,

reflects God's Glory

that He is certainly due.

The flowers from our garden

and the words of the Bible say,

that the flowers may fade away

but the Words of our God will stay.

These flowers were sent to you

to help us all realize,

that God loves us so much more,

than the flowers may disguise.
