The Lily

The modest rose puts forth a thorn,
The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:
While the Lily white shall in love delight,
Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.

~William Blake


Our neighbors, down the street, have a beatiful home accented by an amazing yard. They have flowers everywhere, a pond, bird feeders, and it is well manicured. One specific flower they grow, is an ornamental lily. This flower is beautiful and smells amazing! Mrs. Down-the-street-neighbor cut her first bloom...and brought it to ME! Can you believe that??

My lily is in an old bottle in my kitchen. The whole room smells good and I smile at my neighbor multiple times a day. What amazing kindness.
