The Family

Look yonder my friend and you will see
A lovely and beautiful family of three.
Enjoying nature’s yellow sunshine and rain,
Spreading their petals with growing pains.

There’s mama, and daddy, and baby makes three
Wearing sweet attire that beckons to bees
Sweet petals of perfume blowing in the breeze
Smell it if you dare and it’ll make you sneeze.

Oh, how wonderful such a joyful family group
Their green stalks that bend, sway and stoop
A family of flowers that love each other
Makes me think of my loving mother.

Where else shall we find beauty this bold,
Except in our gardens or where flowers are sold.
Is there any greater beauty on earth than what we see?
When the richness of love surrounds a family of three?


In a flower bed
In a meadow
In a flower shop
In a vase
In a forest
In all of nature

AMEN! THIS WORK MADE ME THINK OF HOW WONDROUS OUR GOD TRULY IS; IN A FLOWER THERE IS HIS BEAUTIFUL ARTISTRY FOR THE EYES - LIFTING OUR SPIRITS, HIS NATURAL FRAGRANCES TO BE INHALED, THAT INVIGORATE US AND THEN THERE IS YOUR WONDERFUL PERSPECTIVE; HE GAVE US A VISION OF 'FAMILY'...THE WAY HE WANTS US TO BE. IS IT ANY WONDER THAT IN THE MIDST OF HIS GARDEN HE ESTABLISHED ANOTHER PERFECT 'BOND', LETTING US KNOW THE WAY HE WANTED IT TO BE? I AM LOVING THIS WORK AND I WILL KEEP IT. THANK YOU, MY FRIEND, I AM GRATEFUL FOR THIS DYNAMIC MESSAGE GIVEN FROM SUCH AN UNIQUE POINT OF VIEW. LOVE, BLESSINGS & FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Nice write, remindes me of how much I look forward to spring, even though we've had a mild winter, I still can't wait to begin working in the flower beds and yard, I love to cut flowers from my flower gardens and take to work and bring inside to put in vaces. Simply a beautiful write full of love!
Blessings,

Thank you, Jeanette, I needed this breath of spring this morning -- it's pouring rain outside and it looks so dismal and dreary! A lovely spring day and a loving family is your gift.
Love,
CJ

A wise message through the colorful lines of "The Family" is delivered to please the soul and to teach the mind.

I have enjoyed the reading of "The Family".

In admiration,

Jeanette,

Like the garden of flowers a family must be tendered and nurtured also. Excellent write.
