7th Poem from my Advent Devotional booklet

How about Flowers?

“If we’re having a party,” said Tim
“this place still looks too dark and dim.
I think we could use a big flower
Which would supply so much power.”

Dad took them to the flower store
and there all around the floor
were poinsettia flowers so red
and nothing else needed to be said.

Dad told them to look from afar
how the flowers were shaped like a star.
The plants matched Susie’s cold red face
as she put them in their special place.



Mother told them these specials flowers
would give them many happy hours.
She said they were found in Mexico
but we didn’t have that far to go.
