Hello everyone! Today I have a page to share with you based on Scrap That Poetry's new poem: An Easter Flower Gift by John Greenleaf Whittier
O dearest bloom the seasons know,
Flowers of the Resurrection blow,
Our hope and faith restore;
And through the bitterness of death
And loss and sorrow, breathe a breath
Of life forevermore!
The thought of Love Immortal blends
With fond remembrances of friends;
In you, O sacred flowers,
By human love made doubly sweet,
The heavenly and the earthly meet,
The heart of Christ and ours
Here is how it inspired me...
Since my girls are my sacred flowers the following line struck a fond note in my heart and served as my inspiration for this one...
In you, O sacred flowers,
By human love made doubly sweet
