As Long As Life Has Flowers We Will Never Un-kissed Be

 In Ontario it is iris, peony and lupine season...






...among others

Gerbera Daisies


Columbine

Spiderwort


Clematis



Every flower-lover is in constant awe at the myriad intricacies of each flower
designed by our Creator
The above beauties,
plus this morning's devotion

...inspired today's poem
(it can be interpreted as written either about flowers or people.
God's love/beauty poured through us)

As long as life has flowers, we will never friendless be
God decorates earth’s bowers with such pleasant company
He stirs our hearts to leap with praise where oft a bloom beguiles
Us to marvel at countless ways that the Creator smiles

The loom within the bud unravels wonder, crease by crease
A miracle of fragile petals forms each masterpiece
Like symbols of kind pardon, beauty startles trouble’s plain
Glimpses of Eden’s Garden gild hill, hollow, field and lane

All things are possible with He who designs every fold
And strews to earth a starry sea of wonders to behold
Forbid one looks but misses mercy’s autographs of grace
God smiles and blows His kisses to us in each flower-face

Luke 12:27
Consider how the lilies grow: 
They do not labor or spin. 
Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory 
was adorned like one of these.
