Fragrant Beauty
Upon the far off hill, with the sun beating down
are just hundreds of flowers that grow from the ground.
Each one is distinctive in its very own way
And each has a fragrance that will make your head sway.
The loveliest of flowers, oh yes, to behold
Planted by the eternal gardener, or so I am told.
He planted the seeds with thoughts and with care
With the hopes that his people will see beauty there.
He knew all too well of the beauty He had made
The senses they all please and the comfort they gave.
He knew that in time we would return at an hour
Of need for love from His most fragrant of flowers.
He had blessed all the petals and stems with His touch.
He gave each one beauty and love, almost too much.
He made this a heaven on earth for all to then see
But t’is better to smell, of the fragrant beauty.
