God's Bouquet
I received this poem from my Aunt Linda this week. It is so sweet that I wanted to share it.
God's Bouquet
You must bloom where you are planted In the garden we call life, And bring some special beauty to Each corner where there's strife.
Perhaps you're but a dandelion, Wishing you were a rose, Yet in this place of growing things, You're the one God chose.
It's up to you to finish what The Good Lord has begun, By growing just the way you should And face the rising sun.
There's room for you, if you but choose, In a glorious array Of beauty from God's garden, that He'll add to his bouquet.

I love it! Makes you stop and think!(I especially like the second verse- some days I sure feel like a dandelion in the midst of a bunch of roses!)
Maybe that's why I've always loved dandelions so much -- they DO just bloom where they are planted -- and are so happy to be what they are! I always thought I was the only person on earth who didn't mind the dandelions in my yard. Thanks, Lea! Such a sweet reminder to be what we are! Cora
