Flowers Bloom
If you think about it, we are all flowers
But as the days go by we'll lose our bloom.
We shall whither on the vine before we know it,
some say much to soon.

We need to take care of ourselves
to let our lives bloom as long as we can.
Then we will be doing God's will;
Friends, I pray you'll understand.

I'm looking for my bloom to last a long time,
as long as I live.
Then I will have helped others
through the love that only God can give.

I thank the Lord that I shall be a flower
long blooming in all of His wonderful ways.
And then my friend, I know I shall see you
when we go to God's glory at the end of our days.
