Wild Flowers

Wild flowers
all different shades and colors
light orange
red and blue
some with four pedals, some with two
Some wilting
Some are new
Some bending and bowing
others reach for the sky
many different shades and colors
but their essence is the same
the beauty of life is blooming

This same beauty is within us all

Everyone you meet is God speaking
look closely and you will see
underneath the ragged clothes
and the dirty shoes

God is softly smiling

If you look closely at your reflection
you will see him there too
treat him kindly
he means you no harm

Only fear divides you
release and move on

Love is your beauty
Love is your nature
Love is your smile
Love is your grace

As you look at your reflection
Smile and know you are loved
listen to your heart and it will speak
gently forgiving and releasing your pain

Sleep softly my child
and sweet dreams
