Lily
Slender, tender
Smells sweet, swells pure, spells grace
Lovely Lily of the valley

I like this plant and we had some at one time but they disappeared from the scene. I need to get some more. Congrats on this winner. Sara

This is wonderful Jo! I love the personification of the lily of the valley as Jesus. I have always loved lily of the valley and know every time I see them bloom I will think of Jesus as "the lily of the valley" and your poem. Thank you for that gift. This is going into my favs! Blessings.
