Poetry
I had a little rose bush,
That I tended with great care.
Each morning, I would go to look
If any blossoms would be there.
I watered, and I trimmed it;
Fertilized, and prayed a prayer;
But still, those beautiful roses,
Never seemed to appear on there!
One day, around the corner,
There, the rose grew through the wall,
It was laden with pretty roses,
More beautiful than at the mall!
Our lives are like that rosebush,
No matter how hard we try;
Our life just doesn’t seem to bloom,
And, we don’t know the reason why.
But, our God is keeping track;
When our lives don’t seem to bloom,
The pages of His book reveal,
The things that we do not assume!
Everyone who follows Christ,
Though not visible at all;
Still produces fragrant blossoms
On the other side of the wall!
