Nature's Time-clock

With anticipation I wait for the
blooming of the flowers
their cycles are the gift of a
perennial garden.
Spring arrives and with some
restraint I await the coming of
this natural gift
The promise of blossoms that
return according to nature's
time clock
Thank you Lord for this gift
A tiny spot of treasured earth
where I can witness growth and
beauty
I am able to observe the natural
cycle of the seasons
the death and re-birth of a
garden's promise and with
gratitude, I thank You.
