We Give Thanks For Flowers

Let us lift up our thoughts and prayers.
We give thanks for flowers.
We give thanks for tulips and daisies and lilies and roses.
We give thanks for the sun and the soil and the rain.
We give thanks for gardens and gardeners.
We give thanks for birds and bees and bushes and trees.
We give thanks for the beauty of the earth.
We give thanks for spring.
And we hold out hope that all people everywhere will one day be able to enjoy it.
Now and forevermore.
Let it be. So be it. And: Amen.
