The Dignity in a Genuflection

The Dignity in a Genuflection

~ by Lawrence Hall

Sunflowers do not bend toward the Sun; they genuflect
Which is exactly right for morning prayers
They have waited in place throughout the night
For His morning and, true enough, He comes

And through the day His liturgies of Light
Illuminating the letters and margins of life
With all the ornaments of Creation
Delight each flower in its work and play

Ordering all endeavors to great effect –
Sunflowers do not bend toward the Sun; they genuflect
