The Flowering Garden

Of all the beautiful things on this earth one thing stands out.
It is a flowering garden with many different verities.
Jesus created the flowers we have today and has blessed them as they have grown.
A flowering garden is what Mom used to have within our yard.
A total of twenty-eight rose bushes lined the fence.
The azaleas lined the row beneath the picture window.
The chrysanthemums were alongside of the fence on the right side of the house.
There were gladiolas and pinks plus more flowers to see.
It was a beautiful sight to see and work that Mom put into it was exemplary.
I said all of this to say that God did it all with providing the flowers we had.
They have since died and have been uprooted.
The flowers outlived their usefulness and are now gone.
But the Lord was the One Who brought them about and I am glad we had them.
