Beauty Duty

A flower's beauty moves us to God's glory:
Magnolias match His gracious majesty,
the Rhododendrons tell His tender story,
as Trilliums spin their petals' Trinity.
Abelias rally to the Alpha One,
while Zinnias pray to their Omega Lord,
the Sunflowers turn to face His burning sun,
and Daisies duel to drink His cool reward.
If we as people see a Peony's glee
or newly view a Tulip's dew'd debut,
can't He with ease decree a Sneezeweed be
a blue mileau and woo as Lupins do?
If sweet Petunias merely do their duty,
God will be loyal and enjoy their beauty.
