THANK GOD FOR FLOWERS 
Thank God for flowers. They never lose their 
grace, 
However dark and troubled be the while. 
Although there be on every human face 
A frown of hate, they never cease to smile. 
When men are plotting deeds of strife and blood, 
And waging war beneath an angry sky, 
They nod their greetings in the field and wood 
And garden to each breeze that passes by. 
Masters of self-possession are they all, 
Teachers of poise to such as care to learn. 
Along the path or by the garden wall, 
With cultured neighbors or the wildwood fern. 
Happy alike in sun, and rain, and dew, 
Lending their sweetness to the passing hours, 
They dwell contentedly till life is through, 
Then die as they have lived. Thank God for 
flowers.
