Why Flowers Were Made
by Martha Corrine Love 1962
God might have made this lovely earth
Without a flower at all....
He had a wealth of other things,
Enough for great and small.
But He made them with His own hands
And dyed them with rainbow light,
That they in modest grace could be
Upspringing day and night;
Through the cycles of the seasons
To bloom on the lowland plain,
And high upon the green mountains,
Refreshed by dew and rain.
Our daily life requires them not,
Then why were they given birth?
God meant them to delight mankind
And beautify His earth....
To please the eye, to ease the heart,
To give hope when faith grows dim,
knowing those that cared for flowers
Would care much more for Him!
