Lily of the Valley Am I

Amongst God’s created flowers indeed verily beauteous… I am loved for my pure white colors oozing with pleasantly sweet fragrance. With the Lord’s Sovereign wisdom providing me with red seed pods… I make my whole plants very attractive after blooming. Accordingly in the language of flowers I bear “the return of happiness” signification Thus, I am well-sought during weddings… for couples’ inspiration-bliss. Best that I boast of along gratefulness’ delight… is the mention of my name in the Song of Solomon 2:1* featuring the Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ with His love’s purity and redeeming blood for man’s eternal sanctification-scent.
*Song 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. June 24, 2019 2nd place, "YOUR CHOICE FLOWER VERSE,any form,any theme" Poetry Contest; Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 6/24/2019.

Lily-of-the-valley is my birth flower. They don't grow here in the tropics. There is such a delicate beauty in their blossoms and you have done them justice in your poem Beata. Congratulations on your deserving podium win! : ) xxoo
