“The pale flowers of the dogwood outside this window are
saints. The little yellow flowers that nobody notices on the edge of that road
are saints looking up into the face of God.”
― Thomas Merton, A Book of Hours

there are saints everywhere
the flowers and the trees
saints
the birds that welcome me in the morning
saints
horses who nicker a welcome
across the fence
and the deer nibbling my flowers
saints!
grand children who laugh
and snuggle
definitely saints
daughters and sons
wives and husbands
saints
all creation
all the souls in our lives
who lift us up
and reveal to us
the face of God
saints
