Poetry
Fear not and be glad, sound out to rejoice,
God does great when lifting up your voice;
About the beasts in the field be not afraid,
For you being their master that God made;
As the trees and the vines ripen with fruit,
As deeper a search for water by the root;
God has given abundant rain in the spring,
As well as in autumn for our hearts to sing.
Our God is a good God who truly provides,
To anyone who obeys on what He decides;
A cup overflowing from blessings above,
As His compassion showers you in love;
Maybe at times it seems to be a drought,
Did it ever occur it was because of doubt?
God does not reward you for negativity,
Blessings only come in thinking possibility;
Thinking positive will make your fruit ripe,
While wither and die every time you gripe;
So even if you're down rejoice in the Lord,
He will comfort while guiding you upward.

Hallelujah! What a pick-me-up! This poem is most definitely "ripened fruit." Nice writing!
