The great Creator has designed
Sweet violets with beauty lined.
He made the passion flower rare
Like tatted lace beyond compare.

He fashioned lilac's purple hue
To glisten in the morning dew.
In all the wonders of God's hand,
I find a flower the most grand!

Thank God for Flowers

Thank God for flowers of every hue,
From baby-pink roses to plumbago blue
The fragrance of jasmine enhances the night
And each water lily is a pearly delight

Magnolias by moonlight bring sweet memories
As springtime awakens the blossoming trees.
The common hibiscus brings uncommon joy,
And shy violets are bashful and coy.

Long-stemmed red roses are reasons to sing,
And the frost-covered crocus usher in Spring.
Lavender orchids decorate the prom,
And pastel carnations pay tribute to Mom.

Flowers bring comfort to pauper and king,
For one cannot measure the pleasure they bring,
From Easter-white lilies to plumbago blue.
Thank God for flowers of every hue!
