Come And Pray

Come and pray by the Jacaranda tree
Where bounteous blue purple flowers calm,
And carpet our hearts with God’s profound gifts
Of beauty and iridescent mauve balm~

Seek the Morning Glory flowers of blue
To express love in a deep divine way,
As vines give birth to each flower at morn
To die at eve then replaced the next day~

Find white flowers of faith in Queen Ann Lace,
A challenge once for a Queen to lace sew.
It’s named after her with exquisite grace,
The purple centre is her blood prick’s glow~

Linger in Lavender light by the path,
Breathe in the fragrant hues of floral blue.
Its scent offers a tranquil open mind,
Come and pray with God’s flowers rich with dew~
