Trees in Africa

Inspired by Elizabeth Kendall’s beautiful painting Abundance, I also dedicate this to the Creator of trees.

1. I took a walk down a woodland trail,
   without really expecting anything new.
   A rustling in the leaves made me pause,
   and wonder what was hidden from view.
   I kneeled down and spotted a tiny, white flower,
   so perfectly formed to bloom for just an hour.
   Thank you, Lord, for showing it to me alone,
   such a secret I would never have known.
