There was once a beautiful orchid
Who lived in the garden of love
This orchid was so special
It glowed for heaven above
God had an angel standing guard
People ask God if it could be theirs alone
He said, "Only if someone is pure of heart
Would I let it be their own
Many came and went
The angel did not let them close to view
So I came to hear of it
I wondered if God would let me through
When I came to this garden of love
All was as people said
I was just a humble girl
Would God give it to me instead
Your heart is pure like the falling snow
So special in God's love
He put this orchid here
So it would not lose it's glow
I, myself have watched you
And seen how you grow
So you may take this flower
From God's loving care
You are a blossom yourself
You are so very rare"
Linda Ann Henry
Do you remember me
The people's poet
