Mother's
Orchids
Mother planted her Orchids
and then they grew,
'Til she saw the tender buds
come peeking through,
To be warmed by the sun
and be cooled by the showers
and grow into something
beautiful,
These velvety flowers.
Then she prayed, 'Father in
heaven,
you have sure favored me,
by making them grow
and letting me see,
How You dressed them all up
in garments so fine
Thank You my Lord
For the Orchid's design.
I'll nourish them now
the best that I can,
but their beauty and growth
is still in Your hand.
And Oh, the fragrance
that will fill up the room
When You and I Lord,
Bring them into full bloom.'
