"Prove me now herewith,"
He said.
And I tried…

And in return
for my meager offering
He opened the windows of heaven wide

and poured out
blessings unmeasured- -
            Flowers to keep for all time.

He gave me two Violets,
two Glads,
and a Larkspur.

He gave me a Cosmos,
two “Mums,”
and a Hawthorn.

He gave me two Sweet Peas
and two precious Daisies
(But one of them wilted away…)

My garden is bursting
with blossoms from heaven;
Flowers of sweetness-my blessings from heaven!
