Lest We Forget

Lest We Forget

Sunlight sparkles through maple leaves
As we sit in the yard on a chair.
A butterfly kisses a tiger lily
And lights upon our hair.

A cardinal sings of love to its mate
Down the lane in another tree.
A crimson splash as he goes to her
Is all that we can see.

Daisies wave in the field 'cross the road.
The colors of sun and pure white.
Among them trots a doe and her fawn
To our absolute, utter delight.

God sends exquisite marvels our way,
Giving them on bended knee;
Lest we forget that He loves us
With the purest love there can be.
