A Candle Burning

A candle burning in the dark night
Cannot outshine my Saviour’s light.
The greatest bonfire and its glow
Compared to Jesus, will not show.
The brightest beams from our big sun
Cannot eclipse the Blessed One.
The love light from my Saviour’s eyes
Is kind, and caring, always wise.
He sees my weakness, knows my fears,
Has helped me stand and dried my tears.
And when my task here is complete,
You’ll find me sitting at his feet.

Jaunty plumes of glad July
Beckon to bees passing by-
“Hello! Hello! Come and see
What garden pleasures there may be.”
Crickets chirp an invitation –
“There is nectar here for your libation.
Colours there are to entice your eye,
Brilliant hues and perfumes to try.
Come once, come twice. Pause for a sip.
It’s worth your time to make the trip.”
Pansies curtsy as breezes play
And rare is the bee that stays away.
Morning in the Garden

Brown-eyed Susans on the hill
Are nodding in the sun.
Waving daisies at the gate
Are stretching one by one.
Blue cornflowers by my door
Raise up their sleepy heads.
God is walking in his garden
Awaking all the beds.
An Abundance of Peonies
Aren’t they lovely? My husband loves flowers and his garden shows it.
Poppies
Brazen silk banners
Unfurling orange splendour
Herald bright summer.
Joyful June

As sweetest lilacs waft their incense round,
Graceful spirea dons her bridal gown.
Purple-vested irises hold heads high,
And cheerful pansies smile up at the sky.
While June presides, coy summer marries spring,
As with joyful voices, birds are carolling.
More Garden Colours
As the spring gets warmer more flowers are appearing.
Even as they are fading, the tulips are blazing beauties.
Our Very Own Tulip Festival
Our garden is bursting with beautiful tulips:
May Flowers
May

The hyacinths are blooming;
Their sweet perfume abounds.
New tulips are standing tall
Where crocus last was found.
Crimson cardinals are wooing
Feathered maidens in the trees,
And the promises of summer
Softly whisper in May’s breeze.
