EVANGEL, by                    
First Line: To me the meanest flower that breaks
Last Line: That makes him mine.
Subject(s): Religion; Theology


To me the meanest flower that breaks
Through stubborn sod
Transcends the sermon on the mount
As word of God.

Transcends the power of man-made, grim
Theology
To flood the soul with luminous
Divinity.

In each unclosing bud I find
His lineaments,
And shed from every full-blown flower
Omnipotence.

Each wild bloom breathes His guardian love
From stream and wood,
And petaled fields in concert vow
His Fatherhood.

If flowers were not, still God would be
No less divine;
But I should miss the common touch
That makes Him mine.
