Flowers Gladen the Heart #GiveThanks

 

It is true, flowers gladden the heart. #GiveThanks. Here is a poem that might also gladden a few hearts. 

FLOWERS

They are autographs of angels, penned
In Nature’s green-leaved book, in blended tints,
Borrowed from rainbows and the sunset skies,
And written everywhere–on plain and hill,
In lonely dells, ‘mid crowded haunts of men;
On the broad prairies, where no eye save God’s
May read their silent, sacred mysteries. Thank God for flowers!
They gladden human hearts; Seraphic breathings part their fragrant lips
With whisperings of Heaven.

Albert Laighton 1829-1887
