God’s Green Earth

The loveliness of lilies, the magnificence
of marigolds, the delight of dahlias
in my garden shrine. Forgive me for waxing
lyrical, but each year I fall in love
with the annual renewal of Nature’s bounty.
My heart sings with joy at the wild
abundance of this spectacle of flowers.
Is there anything in this world
more beautiful on God’s green earth?
