The Prayer Flower


While walking through a forest
on the mountain top today,
I looked beside a solemn birch
and saw a flower pray.
All alone it bowed its head;
with none but me to see
the total reverence it expressed,
I wondered, could it be
that anyone in this cold world
would deep and truly care
enough about our loving God
for such perpetual prayer?
It really made me stop and think
a thought of soulful kind:
life will bloom the brighter
with God foremost in our mind.
