Heavenly Bouquet ... by Laurie Glass

Secure and resting in His lap,

breathe in His presence so divine.

No other place is so serene,

where Father, child, intertwine.

So close with head upon His chest,

such strong aroma emanates

from One so loving, beautiful.

Low burdened soul, scent satiates.

Inhale His fragrance like perfume.

‘Tis such a heavenly bouquet.

Breathe in the balm of the Supreme,

refreshing as a rose sachet.

With eloquence, He speaks aloud,

expresses with assuring tone.

Inhale His words of hope so true

and strength for what is yet unknown.

Give ears to gentle, soothing voice

and hear Him, promises disclose.

With words so sweet upon His breath,

brings soul to genuine repose.

His arms provide tranquility.

Breathe in the calm of warm embrace.

His tender touch so delicate.

Such comfort in this healing place.

All snuggled up in Father’s arms.

Such smells so sweet draw child close.

He knows this time with Him is what

His dear creation needs the most.
