Stood a garden, long, long ago

And plants and shrubs of every kind.

I thoght it would be nice to read this poem around the Easter daysO dear moon! spread the grace of Your healing rays to suffering earth. Let your calm pellucid light heal The disease stricken soul of mankind. Bright like the fresh blosoms of lilies
As they watched this sight In awful amazement, they did see A host of Lilies, white as snow Far more beautiful than any of them Bowing their heads in reverential glee And singing Hosanna to the Lord of Life........touching expression with lofty theme. A beautiful poem on Easter has been astutely and incisively delineated. Thanks for sharing with nice graphic.10
this flower species was featured at my second marriage ceremony. neither the flowers nor marriage lasted. maybe the wedding should have been on Easter Sunday? ? ? bri :) previously commented on....
This magnificent poem also emphasizes that the Lord cares for the lowly and underprivileged. That in God's own time, the poor could rise and God will shower them the.bounty of heaven. So beautifully written and vividly portrayed.
A wonderful poem so apt for Easter celebration. The beautiful story of resurrection has been.retold so vividly. Very informative.
The beautiful story of Resurrection of Jesus told, in a few lines! The poem grips the mind. I read it a few times already. Beautiful lillies springing up from where drops of blood have fallen; The Lord of Life. it is amazing. Happy Easter -to one and all!
This is pure, sweet dawn to a beauty symbolic of Resurrection and Life! ........Valsa......speechless I am when i go through your eternal piece of work.....Full credit
Resurrection retold in beautiful narrative. Each word of the poem is a lily. Sorry, my comment is rather belated.(10)
I remembered your earlier poem before I read the comment. The poem has enhanced beauty with picture added.
well i was ALMOST Ready TO SEND my comment when it got sent without this: bri ;)
Beautiful narration stressing that Jesus is wit the neglected and marginalized. You justifies the Bible words of the Christ.
Jesus who was born in a manger is of course with the neglected and the marginalized ! Thank you dear poet friend for your thoughtful comment!
The resurrection of Jesus from the dead today remains in memory of all of us and we celebrate together this Easter festival across the globe. You have described very well this poem and this gives us complete idea. Unlimited joy we get in this festive session. A nice poem is shared here...10

Thank you Nosheen! Though you are so much younger to me, I value your comment and am glad about your appreciation!
A quite astonishingly beautiful poem at the Easter time. The Lilies are redemption from the severities of winter as they burst forth in Glory. And so the Lord's rebirth! A very fine weaving of images. Must be a favourite for me.
Thank you so much Tom! When I get such positive comments, I regret my slackness in writing more. Thank you for giving me a good start to my day!
Beautiful poem. I love those Easter lilies. This poem is so full of love and tenderness, as mystical and captivating as the story of Christ's resurrection. Wish you a very happy Easter my friend.
And a Happy Easter, Valsa! Thank you so much for this gentle tale of hope and redemption. This goes on my favourites list.
Thank you so much Lemon! I feel honored that this poem of mine goes into your favorite poem's list! Wish you too a Happy Easter!
Oh, Valsa, thank you for this gentle, loving poem that absolutely breaks into glorious song about our beloved Savior Jesus Christ. This will be my Easter gift this year- -I am sick and cannot go to church tomorrow for fear of getting others sick so I will spend time in solitude with the Bible, with my Lord in prayer and with this tender loving poem. Thank you- -you are yourself such a gift to all of us here on PH. Though a rating is not important in the scheme of things, I give this a 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Thank you so much Susan... I am deeply moved by your kind and generous words of appreciation! Sorry to hear that you are sick! Wish you a speedy recovery! I am so happy to have known such a compassionate and zealous Christian! Wish you the joy and blessings of Easter!
A garden stood with plants like giant oak and fig along with shrubs of very kind far away in ancient Jerusalem. They would burst into bloom filling the air with sweet fragrances. Amidst a body was left by piercing nails and it was the body of Jesus - Son of God. The story of Resurrection of Jesus is well executed with Lily flower. Brilliant work.
