"Now are we the sons of God"

FLORA ALLAN

To gaze upon a rose,—"the smile of God,"*—
To mark its outlines fair, its fragrance rare,
Awakes within the heart a growing sense Of wonderment at God's omnipotence.
Then gratitude! Then deep humility!
Till self, and sin, and fear—all mortal mind—
Sink down and fade away from consciousness;
And lo! a rising note of joy and praise
Fills all the thought, as gently whispers Love:
Thou, child, art God's creation, as this flower
Reflecting forth His beauty, grace, and power.
I thank Thee, Father-Mother God, and bless
The token of Thy love and tenderness.
