PINK PEONY by Susie Hale

When spring arrives, the peony rises

So quickly you can almost see it grow.

Several inches in just a few days

Where a month or two before there was snow.

When the foliage begins to look like a bush,

The giant flowers unfold,

Sometimes so large and heavy,

They’re too much for the stem to hold.

Such showy blooms from ugly bulbs…

God’s creativity inspires me.

But more amazing than his natural wonders

Is the fact that God desires me!

For he knows he can take this simple life

And use it to bring him glory.

He can grow me daily and cause me to blossom

To tell the world his story.
