While for shining sapphires

I used to sing this hymn when I was at primary school, a good few years ago! Was reminded of it today when I saw the Speedwell growing.

Daisies are our silver,
Buttercups our gold:
This is all the treasure
We can have or hold.

Raindrops are our diamonds
And the morning dew;
While for shining sapphires
We've the speedwell blue.

These shall be our emeralds–
Leaves so new and green;
Roses make the reddest
Rubies ever seen.

God, who gave these treasures
To your children small,
Teach us how to love them
And grow like them all.

Make us bright as silver:
Make us good as gold;
Warm as summer roses
Let our hearts unfold.

Gay as leaves in April,
Clear as drops of dew–
God, who made the speedwell,
Keep us true to you.

I like your poem! The flowers are so pretty!
