The dainty petals, like intricate lace, Quivered, then opened slowly to the warm embrace Of the golden sun. The blossom Hourished ,neath the Master's care. Time and the joy of being made it fair. Simple splendor enchancing empty space. Dear Lord beneath your kind and loving eye I pray my life, as yet a hidden flower, May blossom forth and when I draw nigh To the gateway of Eternity, a gentle breeze may shower Petals of life well-lived, which humbly I Lay at your feet-trusting-my only dowerl Dedicated to Beverly Tillson, a Senior, who died April 16, 1944
