White Lily

CONSIDER THE LILIES
OF THE FIELD


By Josie Whitehead

Consider the Lilies of the Field

Sweet lilies growing 'neath the trees,
Heads nodding gently in the breeze.
     White robed apostles, standing tall -
      Of flowers, most elegant of all.

​

Upon a coffin, simply lain,
You rest beneath the gentle rain
    And mark the end of life's hard fight -
    Three perfect lilies, pure and white.

Note:  The Bible:  Matthew 6:25-34:  Jesus said: 'Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?' and: 'Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.'
