Fragrance from the Spring

More than ten years ago, Liana Wendy Howarth began writing children's short stories and poetry, which were accepted for publication through a British publishing house. The Lord had other plans, though, and it didn't proceed. With time, He has led her through permitted trials, heartache, and long-term illness and allowed the pain, the questions, and the joy to overflow onto the page, bringing Him glory. It is her heart's desire that these poems will bring special moments to the little ones and comfort for anyone hurting, those crying unseen tears, anyone needing the Saviour and we all do! THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD Soft scents adrift upon the early breeze Roses adorn the life teeming earth Rainbow birdlife calls of His glory Oh! What a wondrous God is He Billowing clouds roll across the blue yonder Sunshine peeps through apple trees Rain soon falls and creation brightens Oh! What an awesome God is He Butterflies flitter and flutter so freely Fruit well ripened, heavy laden on boughs Perfect colours and shades of nature Oh! What a glorious God is He Rays of golden treasure dart across sand dunes Mountainous regions, white from heaven above Deepest sea-greens and abundance in oceans Oh! How do I thank and worship Thee The tiny veins on a simple leaf Camouflaged creatures wonderfully sleep My gorgeous cat upon my lap a-purring Oh! What a mighty God is He
