Flowers and Life

A gift from a mother and a daughter

To celebrate new birth

The beautiful life of flowers

Is evidence of each child's worth

I thought about the flowers

In moments of deep concern

I wondered if they'd be alive

When at home I would return

Would this child of tender age

Have the chance to know

The beauty of God's creations on earth

And love from family and home

Upon return, the flowers alive

My joy is full and real

This new babe will know life

And love from family feel!
