The delicately carved petal of the peach rose
sits in the sun casting its shadow upon
the newly blossoming bud of a yellow orchid.
The bloom of the orange, red and white hibiscus
springs up through the fence
lighting up the flower bed with its array of color.
The green and white-striped ground covering
and hostas spread their dewy freshness
on the flowers above.

The honey-dipped jonquils and the yellow-tipped daisies
stand tall beneath the majestic spruce trees
and God’s artistry and splendor are all in its glory.
