"Flowers"
By Samuel E. Stone
Radiant contrast of colors of green,
surround pastels with an amber glow,
as translucent pedals sturdy but clean,
release a sweet fragrance, an aromatic flow.

A rainbow assortment from the heavens above,
sent to earth, to nurture and flourish,
bringing tranquility like the flight of a dove,
a spiritual gift of mother nature’s florist.

Captivating one’s spiritual essences,
awakening the senses with magical pleasure,
while filling the soul with it’s natural presences,
showing forth God’s endless measure.

Simple but complicated all wrapped up in one,
gloriously growing and blooming under the sun,
architectural creation of mystical portion when done,
enhancing the atmosphere of love and fun.

Living, breathing, tantalizing in form,
backdrop of serenity magnificently profound,
flowers of beauty for mankind to adorn,
bringing abundance of peace and pleasure wherever found.

Think positive and be not afraid,
to lift your head proudly and join the parade,
marching with pride, building memories never to forget,
accepting the good and the bad without regret.
