Fragrance from the Spring

A Collection of Inspirational and Children's Poetry

More than ten years ago, Liana Wendy Howarth began writing children's short stories and poetry, which were accepted for publication through a British publishing house. The Lord had other plans, though, and it didn't proceed.

With time, He has led her through permitted trials, heartache, and long-term illness and allowed the pain, the questions, and the joy to overflow onto the page, bringing Him glory.

It is her heart's desire that these poems will bring special moments to the little ones and comfort for anyone hurting, those crying unseen tears, anyone needing the Saviour and we all do!

THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD

Soft scents adrift upon the early breeze

Roses adorn the life teeming earth

Rainbow birdlife calls of His glory

Oh! What a wondrous God is He

Billowing clouds roll across the blue yonder

Sunshine peeps through apple trees

Rain soon falls and creation brightens

Oh! What an awesome God is He

Butterflies flitter and flutter so freely

Fruit well ripened, heavy laden on boughs

Perfect colours and shades of nature

Oh! What a glorious God is He

Rays of golden treasure dart across sand dunes

Mountainous regions, white from heaven above

Deepest sea-greens and abundance in oceans

Oh! How do I thank and worship Thee

The tiny veins on a simple leaf

Camouflaged creatures wonderfully sleep

My gorgeous cat upon my lap a-purring

Oh! What a mighty God is He
