This lily is growing in a neighbor's yard down the street.
The poem was written several years ago, inspired by a
lesson given by Helen Young, at a Ladies Day, at the
Anaheim Church of Christ.
LESSONS FROM A LILY
As we see a lily standing straight and tall,
We see in yonder lily lessons for us all.
First, we see the color, so white and so pure,
That reminds us of the Savior, so blessed and so dear.
The beauty of God's handiwork is there for all to see,
If He cares for the lily, He cares for you and me.
The roots of the lily grow deep into the sod,
May we have the depth of faith to draw us close to God.
The lilies' radiant flowers bloom for a fleeting day,
But ah, the memory lingers after they've gone away.
Life, much like the lily, is but for a little while,
So spread sunshine while you're here, always wear a smile.
As the Father up in heaven, promised us harvest fair to all,
He promised us four seasons: winter, spring, summer, fall.
With spring, the planted lily pushes forth its glorious bloom
To promise, death will never hold its prey, prisoner of a tomb!
