Purity Is a Delicate Lily of Whiteness

Purity is a delicate lily of whiteness that a sinless soul so fervently cherishes, but finding a similar one in the whole Earth: it's like seeking a gemstone in a forest! Look everywhere...where's that spotless heart in which love keeps it's whiteness intact? And unless, it is tempted and loses favor with God Himself: it can only expect wrath on His part as it wallows in death! Purity is a delicate lily of whiteness, woe to it, if it'll be accosted by a tempest that will strip all its petals and scatter them on a green lawn: it would have embellished any large room of an elegant home! I, too resembled that delicate lily of whiteness, glorifying the Father with a joy that emitted luminous sparks, but somehow I strayed from my path and put my trust in stars: while lusting after flesh and giving up on holiness!
