Analysis of WHITE LOTUS
If I could be a flower,
what flower could I be?
A red rose with a sharp thorn,
or the holy lily of the valley,
or a yellow dandelion on a lawn?
Maybe I would just let me be
a white lotus as I should be.
I would keep my upright head,
my wide leave spread,
floating above the mirky mud
witnessing His wisdom and
blessing His redeeming blood.
