~ The
Orchid ~
There
was once
a
beautiful
orchid
Who
lived in
the
garden
of love
This
orchid
was so
special
It
glowed
for
heaven
above
God had
an angel
standing
guard
People
asked
God if
it could
be
theirs
alone
He said,
" Only
if
someone
is pure
of heart
Would I
let it
be their
own".
Many
came and
went
The
angel
did not
let them
close to
view
So when
I came
to hear
of it
I
wondered
if God
would
let me
through
When I
came to
this
garden
of love,
All was
just as
people
said
I was
only a
humble
girl
Would
God give
it to me
instead
I saw
the
angel
dressed
in
beautiful
gold
I looked
at the
orchid
with
longing
Hoping I
could at
least
smell
it's
folds
"I have
been
waiting
for you"
God's
voice
came
from
above
"The
orchid
is yours
for the
taking
Given
with all
My love"
I asked,
"Dear
God,
You have
been
guarding
it for
so long
Why do
you give
it to me
I am not
even
very
strong"
The
angel
smiled
"My
Daughter,
you are
special
You have
been so
all your
life.
You help
others
first
You
always
share My
loving
light.
Your
heart is
pure
like the
falling
snow
So
special
in God's
love
He put
this
orchid
here,
So it
would
not lose
it's
glow
I,
myself
have
watched
you
And seen
how you
grow.
So you
may take
this
flower
From
God's
loving
care
You are
a
blossom
yourself
You are
so very
rare"
