Beautiful flower

I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
NIV Song of Solomon 2:1

Her beautiful flower starting to wilt
Feeling rot from a rule that was broken
Bending from sadness of shame and some guilt
Fearing blue blame from some harsh words spoken.

Living in bondage she walks in a cage
Remembering proper ways to behave
And knowing how loved ones fill up with rage
Falsely believes her good actions will save.

Beautiful flowers need sunshine and rain
To flow in a loving pure heart and glow
But misery, sadness, sickness and pain
Follow rule actions so she cannot grow.

All joy and beauty flow from a pure heart
Filled with fresh dew in freedom, above
Lots of sweet love, no rules to impart
God knows no evil; just man in self love.

So when she is full of wet soaking rain
Desires of her heart are asking for joy
Needing some sunshine to take away pain
No finer solution; pure love in a boy.

Enjoying pleasures without any guilt
For ev'ry thing's pure when pure love is built.

To grow and keep a flower beautiful.

Beautiful flower.

(smiles) Yes, yes, may we all believe in love and in spite of the misery we may sometimes suffer always find beauty in the simplest things to balance harmony with chance! (big hugggssssss) The Rose of Sharon symbolizes these feelings so well, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I agree, Joanna. God created Adam to tend his beautiful garden. And I believe that women are God's wonderfully created flowers made to bring royal beauty to The Kingdom.

But Adam sure botched up his assignment. And so I now dedicate my life to writing poetry for God calling all beautiful flowers to come back to the Kingdom and drag a kicking, screaming man with you, LOL...
