The Beauty Of The Flowers


The Bible compares our life to that of a flower, and there are flowers for every season; as the springtime breaks upon the earth it brings with it an abundance of beauty and fragrance. In a similar manner as Christ breaks forth in our life we are called to bring forth His beauty and fragrance all around us. In Song of Solomon 2:12 the loved one is called to come out into the beloved’s garden, for “The flowers appear on the earth …” Some “fathers” believe this is an invitation to her to weave garlands of beauty with which to adorn her-self to meet the King. How could this better be done than to display their beauty to those around us?
The flowers of life
By Rose Hill
Some lives are like the early flowers of spring,
They bloom so early people say “what a lovely thing!”
And others struggle on and wonder why,
That they only can produce a sigh.
But some day will be the time for their flower to unfold,
And everyone the beauty of their life will behold.
Then some are like flowers with big beautiful blooms,
And a sweet smell that fills all the rooms.
But others wonder how they could ever be,
Like the summer flowers so happy and free.
But some day will be the time for their flower to unfold,
And everyone the beauty of their life will behold.
Some lives are like the beauty of fall,
They sure do get the attention of all.
Others wonder how in all their days,
That anyone would see something in them to praise.
But some day will be the time for their flower to unfold,
And everyone the beauty of their life to behold.
Now consider the flowers that bloom in the cold,
They last much longer and aren’t quick to get old.
Some lives will be like these beauties rare,
They waited so long but eventually will get there.
The trials they faced has made them strong,
And their beautiful blooms will last so long.
Yes, some day will be the time for their flower to unfold,
And everyone the beauty of their life will behold.
(The moral: it’s never too late in life to bloom in God’s garden)
