Wayside flower
Oh little flower
growing on the wayside
Dancing with petals
ever so bright
How you shine in the
day long sun
And sleep gently when
the day is done
You never notice the
crowd that passes you by
For your thoughts
reach for heaven’s sky!
For it you dance, in
it joy you’ve found
Although you may be
earthly bound
Oh little wayside
flower, gentle and meek
Yet striving in
beauty that which you seek
Little you know the
enduring joy
You bring to those
who pass you in toil!
So grow on, wayside
flower and seek no other view
Than the azure blue
sky constant but always new
And in your dreams,
bloom ever so bright
And bestow on the passers-by
some of your light!

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
- Luke 12:27, NKJV
