I’m grateful
For flowers
They carpet
The Earth.
In brightness
Of color
We see
Their worth.
I think
Of their
Outside,
When they
Begin.
A seed
Dark and Tiny
Their Beauty
Within.
We bury
Them deep.
We water
And feed.
The future
Is bright
For this
Little seed.
We anticipate
Growth
Popping out
Of the dirt.
Happy
For green
To peek
Through the earth.
The excitement
Is real
And patience
Is learned.
As we continue
To wait
For beauty
That’s earned.
The stem grows
Higher
And petals
Need room.
She begins
To open
And finally
Blooms.
We learn
That our
Beauty
Really starts
Within
Watering
Our soul,
Growth
Will begin.
We love
Ourselves.
Our gifts
Start to grow.
God waters
Our soul.
Our beauty
To show.
He patiently
Waited
For us
To see worth.
To share
Our beauty
With others
On earth.
