He Has Given Us Flowers For These Reasons

Marigolds, roses, lilacs, cone flowers, bluebells, lily of the valley
They uplift my spirits, bring God into my forefront, show me love
The fragrance of these beauties is surpassed only by their hope
The optimism in the garden brings me into the forefront of goodness

Their colors entice my imagination, and revitalize my artist’s eye
I reach for colors, thinking of them immediately. Lilac- lavender,
Lavender – purple, red, orange, pink – marigolds and roses. 
Flowers bring butterflies, bees, lady bugs, dragonflies and faeries.

Their blossoms delicate and gorgeous, yet hardy and resilient.
The wasps and hummingbirds dive into them with eager delight.
Flowers change my spirit, help my attitude, enhance my goodness.
Flowers uplift me, giving me hope, reminding me their maker is here.

The maker of flowers has utilized a palette of gorgeous colors.
He has instilled fragrances and aromas found nowhere else.
He has given us flowers, so we will be reminded of the rainbow
And also of his promise to the world.
