Once a...

Once a flower

Once a beauty

Once; . . .

faded now dying

now,

petals now flying

now,

empty now grey

now,

no more day

now,

Then; . . .

GOD

New now bright

now,

Blooming now light

now,

Color now verdant

now,

Fed by the Word

and

Now!

Saved from a wretchedness;

Wrought new with blessedness.
