Beauty's Benevolence

Within this world of woe

And fear

And grief

And doubt

And pain

And hurt

God bends the earth

With beauties dear

And wreaths with bloom

Its solemn dirt

So we may smile and hope

And sing

And love

And laugh

And dream

And trust

The hand that lends

The bloom that bends

With beauty: He tends

Mortal Must

... where care 

and prayer 

and tear

and stare

Are intertwined with mercy’s art

Of sky 

And sea 

And sod 

Designed

By the kind Healer of the heart

What hope, 

Hurt

Happiness and 

Hunger is ours

In earth's

Holy

Humble

Heaven-ness of flowers

  Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it.

  Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. 

Psalm 96:11-12
