Kindness is a lovely flower
One cannot force its seed
But there is nothing like the power
Of kindness touching need
Kindness is a lovely bloom
It needs no pot or bowl
Its fragrance fills the dreary room
And cheers the down-cast soul
Kindness is a stunning rose
Of pure and humble beauty
Its root in selfless visage grows
And never out of duty
Kindness is a lovely flower
All can afford its splendor
In every season, every hour
Its bloom is fair and tender

First I have to mention your beautiful coneflowers! I love them against the weathered wood :)
I enjoyed reading the similarities between flowers and kindness. The last verse is so true... we can all afford to be kind, everyday :)
Love that verse from Ephesians... I used it in my 2nd blog post, "An Unfortunate Pan of Brownies."
It's raining and cold here today ~ hope you're fairing better up north :)
Thank-you Megan...I wish these were my cone flowers but they are my friends...or were, She told me that the old barn and flower bed are going, so I took some pictures.All her plants looked gorgeous against the weathered barn-board!
I like this verse too. I think it is one of the first verses I memorized as a child.
We are waiting for the rain to begin...it is gray and damp.
This is why we photograph flowers isn't it?...our winter gardens~
Short, cute and really good. Really nice. "...nothing like the power of kindness touching need." That's powerful.
