to whom it is
that constructed
the flowers:

i see
the careful consideration you took
to place each petal
just so:
soft and sophisticated…

the thoughtfulness of your hand
is evident
in every leaf
lovingly placed
down the sturdy stem,
with its thirst for life.

how the hues
of the bursting blossoms
amaze me so!
varied and vibrant
a cacophony of colors collide —
yet never compete —
in constant
celebration.

i see
how you constructed
the flowers
not by happy accident
but with
inspired intention
decided design
expressive empathy
creative craft…
your prophetic imagination is a work of art
painted New every season.

teach me to tend this garden
with delight;
to care
for your creation.

may the work of my hands hold the wonder
you graciously gifted in this garden.
And may my heart always hope
for New Beauty to blossom.
