The perfection of this flower
calls to mind the first morning
created by the Creator God
in the beautiful Garden of Eden.
For our enjoyment.
Just so beautiful
is the garden of the world today.
Thanks be to God for eyes to see
Thanks be to God for ears to hear
Thanks be to God for feet that walk
Thanks be to God for mouth that can speak
Praise for the hands to hold
Praise for the mind to think
Praise for the heart to feel
Praise for the health to work.
And if, dear Lord, we lack any of these,
Know that even if our earthly body is not perfect
Our soul, longing for You, is as radiant
and whole, and loving
as this beautiful lily from India.
Surrounded with glowing leaves
And a golden stamened heart within
This lily is perfect; as perfect as the first morning
Dear Reader, For your enjoyment, why not celebrate the beauty of a new day
and rejoice in the singing talent of this wonderful singer.
Let the following song be a meditation of happiness
celebrating the gift of God to us of the earth.
