Spring
20 April 2004, 7 am | Poem
Every opening flower proclaims
the glory of god.
Every grain of wheat illustrates
for us God’s providence.
Every drop of rain proclaims
God’s concern for the welfare
of all people everywhere.
Every rainbow symbolizes
the promise of a better tomorrow.
— Leroy Koopman
