lakeduck: Prayer in a Garden Today the world seemed cruel, but evening hours Were filled with perfume from forgotten flowers. Then ramblers that had grown tall lifted my eyes that, now could see The beauty that today was lost to me. Dear god, who is so near to flowers, and birds, Be nearer still, as I shall thank Thee for blessings revealed, Which through the day discouragement concealed. -edited
Today the world seemed cruel, but evening hours
Were filled with perfume from forgotten flowers.
Then ramblers that had grown tall lifted my eyes that, now could see
The beauty that today was lost to me.
Dear god, who is so near to flowers, and birds,
Be nearer still, as I shall thank Thee for blessings revealed,
Which through the day discouragement concealed.
