GOD'S FLOWER GARDEN

Sometimes we can't quite understand
Our Great Creator's way,
When he takes a life so young
And leaves one withered, old and gray.

Whose life's work seems finished,
Perhaps is waiting for the call.
While that life so young and tender
Held so much here for us all.

Then sometimes I get to thinking,
Perhaps the world down here below,
Is just a flower garden,
Where God's flowers live and grow.

And perhaps when God is lonely,
Like us, He loves to roam
In his Garden, gathering flowers
Just to beautify His home.

Tho’ He takes the full bloom flowers,
Drooped and withered that need his care,
Still he needs a bud or blossom,
To scatter with them, here and there.

So He takes a few choice blossoms,
Just the rarest He can find,
And because God needs them up in Heaven,
Must comfort loved ones left behind.





a poem that was shared with my family long before me but my family feels like its something that we must share with all who need it.

In Need of An Angel,

the poems you post are absolutely amazing! I really love them! This one has a very interesting concept, about us being God's flowers, and we are all a part of His garden.

Thank you for sharing!

The Hill, the Afternoon—
Squirrel, Eclipse, the Bumble-bee,
Nay—Nature is Heaven. "

Dear In Need,

You are an angel indeed sharing that poem with us! It is a beautiful visual and just what I needed today.

Thank you,

Kath

this poem is my favorite. i even wrote a paper on it my freshman year at college. it means a lot to me and my family and whenever it is needed i share it with whomever may need it. i feel it's my duty since it was given to my family.
