i “NO FLOWERS"
I bring not to the altar Easter lilies,
With gold pistils and chalice of white,
I bring not petaled roses, fair to behold V
To fill curious eyes with delight.
j ■ I bring not rare orchilds of lavender and gold
For etched vases of pottery and clay,
But I bring of myself in secret prayer
So accept it on this Easter day.
* Instead of white lilies, orchids and rose,
; I place on the altar m.v heart,
All torn and weary in life’s busy day
Please Lord, accept it as my part.
Each day of the year I will flowers bestow
On the highway of sorrowing pain,
Each day ask Thee humbly for strength to supply
My courage in life to sustain.
On this Easter day no flowers I bring,
But bring Thee humbly my soul,
Unworthy, yet reverently place at Thy feet
i On this altar of love to make whole.
