St Peters RC Church Hamilton

Many are the grasses able to stand alone

For they offer sufficient glory of their own.

A style statuesque, commanding as a feature,

Set in a clump they are picturesque, appearing neater.

Some are wispy, without a head,

Others are full commanding in the flower bed.

Bending and swaying in the soft breeze,

Ornamental grasses act as if replicating the trees.

Mostly golden, brown, buff and tan

A few are bleached white as if their colour ran far away.

Striking when remaining vibrant and green

Colour may be enhanced when flashes of purple are seen.

Softly edging a path, border or lawn

A garden without such grasses may well look forlorn!

Lord, for the colour and stature of ornamental, grasses, which add so well to the atmosphere, I praise and thank You. Grasses delight us. With their commanding height and continuous movement, they add decoratively to any garden. Thank You again! Amen.
