Lily of the Valley

Beholding the lily of the valley* I’m brought to the beauteous Eden’s garden blooming, feasting with life celebration showcasing the Creator I adore. Caressing each delicate bud, I bask at its wafted sweet scent, offering hope reminding me of the Saviour’s savour when He sacrificed Himself with love’s price. Immaculately white, it enthralls me exuding purity that arrests soul checking my righteous walk along God’s path to confess sins and claim Christ’s full pardon. Grateful to the Lord for blessings’ bounty my heart worships Him with contentment bliss learning that He takes care of lilies well arraying them with beauty and grandeur. Cognizant of its blest significance I’m jubilant for the lily’s great roles midst biblical verses so asserted exalting Almighty that it pleases.
*Song 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. June 5, 2021 3rd place, "Workshop: Inviting the Muse" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Jack Webster ; judged on 6/11/2021.

Congrats on your winning work. Way to go. My daughter rooted a rose of Sharon but I have forgotten what it looks like but the lily of the valley if I remember correctly comes from a bulb like daffodils. Sara

I looked up rose of Sharon and it is what I call an Althea and lily of the valley does come from bulbs and I did have some in my yard at one time. Sara
