God's Garden of Delight

Gorgeous are God's gardens,
He tends to them with care,
from the tiny little seedlings,
to orchids, delicate and rare.

His sunshine and showers,
from the heavens above,
give all God's gardens,
nourishment and love.

Flowers dance in the sunshine,
with the breezes that blow.
And under His care,
they thrive and they grow.

God shares his flowers with us,
and their fragrance fills the air.
How beautiful are His flowers,
growing everywhere.

But to the Master Gardener,
most precious in His sight,
His people are His flowers,
God's garden of delight.

Thank you, Maurice, but not well written enough, I guess, for the contest. However, many others liked it plus yourself, so I appreciate that.. Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks, Jan, for reading my poem and for the 7. I think, like orchids, and other flowers, they all reflect God's beauty.
