FLOWERS AND NATURE
Flowers not only beautify the world
They have a calming effect on the soul.
When you walk in a garden amongst flowers,
You feel like staying there for many hours.
Flowers bring enchantment to your life.
They fill you with love and prevent strife.
People send flowers to the ones they love,
Because flowers convey messages of love.
Flowers are always in great demand.
People always stop at a flower stand,
To buy flowers for birthdays and grand occasions.
Lovers can be seen walking with flowers in hand.
Flowers are not man-made but are part of nature.
They feature in national parks and botanical gardens.
They are smiles from the Creator, showing his love.
Everyone loves nature and flowers.
They’re blessings from above.

GOD OPENS DOORS NO MAN CAN SHUT
God opens doors that no one can shut.
When you think it’s over, God turns up.
Be encouraged through Scripture and trust God.
His timing is perfect as He opens new doors.
Breakthroughs and divine favour will follow you.
God will lead you in everything you do.
Opportunities will appear that you never dreamed of.
Doors will open to your destiny and true purpose.
Look back at your life and realise He was always there.
Guiding and protecting you in every sphere.
His love is infinite, pure, righteous, and true.
God is a refuge and source of strength for me and you.

GROWING OLDER
I have read many poems about growing older.
For many of us, growing older makes us ponder.
When we were young, we worried about pimples.
Now we are worrying about getting wrinkles.
Here are some of the funny things I read in poetry.
People are worried about aging prematurely.
When one was young, he wanted to be a heartthrob.
Now he is worried about when his heart will stop.
One said that when she was young, she only wanted to sleep.
Now that she is old, she finds it difficult to sleep.
When another was young, she waited to hold someone’s hand.
Now she is old, so she has to wait for someone to hold her hand.
In her youth, my friend told her parents to leave her alone.
Now that she is older, she is afraid to be left alone.
When she was young, she hated to be given advice.
Now that she is old, there’s no one to talk with or advise.
Young or old, life needs to be lived and experienced.
Cherish the memories and celebrate each moment.
Do not worry about when your life will end.
Leave that in God’s hands to determine when.
