Lauren O'Mine

by David B. Swanger

Of all the flowers that God has wrought
Since the dawn of biological time
There ne'er has blown a blossom more sweet
Than this darling, this Lauren o'mine.

Choirs celestial raise voices in wonder.
Praise God for His gift so divine -
Yes, Cherubim, Seraphim, Angels, and Thrones
Give thanks for this Lauren o'mine.

Dear God in Heaven we raise now our voices
In praises for Your gifts all so fine:
For life - for light - for love... and oh!
For this lovely sweet Lauren o'mine.
