"Be like a flower ... gentle, quiet and humble" Quote _ Constance La France


Gentle 
Like the breath of hope
That stirs inside the heart
Who believes, beyond a doubt
That hope heals the sorrows,
Nurses the feelings, the believing
Cures and restores, rebuilds
A joy that can only bring gentleness

Quiet
Like the beauty of faith
That surrounds the soul
With an amazing grace, a silence
In the wind, the wonders within
Those who remember to pray, 
Without a word – with only a heart
Who knows that He still hears
Listening to the prayers, 
Who flow so silently, so quietly

Humble
Like the wonder of love
That rouses the music within,
The bleeding dream, the faded grief
The sweetness of a forever belief
In the One who hears those appeals
From lips, meek and mild – like a child
Modest words, simple desires
Love only knows the miracle of a life
Who feels like it has been given blessings
In hope, faith and love – it accepts humbly

From the heart and soul, knowing
The miracle of something far greater
Than anything else on earth – anything
Ever known or experienced…

Thanks to Him, there is life everlasting
Forever is the gift from the Creator of us all,
The One who lasts through every sorrow,
The One who brings hope for each tomorrow
Thanks to Him, there is a light on inside us,
A light that shines bright so the world
Can see a part of His love – setting the soul on fire!

Gentle, quiet, humble – He abides in those who know
Those are words that ignite this unending desire
To give back to the One who brings a love like no other love alive!
He is the whole reason that love will always survive.
