                                                  I
                                                  I P                    
                            Joyfully soaking in sunny gold rays
                             Lifting my leaves in Joyful praise
                             Turning my face to see the light
                              Asleep in a garden bed @ night
                               Cheerful visitors come to me
                                The butterfly, a honey bee
                                     Petals   of    yellow
                                      I'm really mellow
                                       A delight 2 birds
                                        In a few  words
                                        Nectar  &  Seed
                                        A  friend indeed
                                        Hour   by   hour
                                       If I were a flower

BJ - you are a gracious flower! Your words delight my heart with their reflection of a selfless love through the image of a selfless flower asking only sunlight, friends, water and returning these gifts in "joyful praise." This would be wonderful in a church service or for youth ministry! Sending you many floral blessings. Love the shape!

Wow, thank you so much! I would really be honored if this was used in church, or youth, that would be a sweet blessing! Your kind words truly lift my heart.
