My feet sink deep into your earth, firmly taking root. Soil bed I lay, nurtured there. Under gardener’s care
The ground kept watered generously, waiting to unveil life blossoms within me
From a shoot to a flower in full bloom. Vibrant in color, a kindergarteners best kept crayon
Fertilized, and nursed to keep disease at bay. New growth daily. Blessed is my keeper, as I am taking heed to the need of nurture. Bright future
Fervent I grow, and fervent He keeps me. The soil that swaddles my new growth keeps my leaves from withering
Storms pass, and winds blow. Wanting to steal my beauty, make my petals not cower. One day I will be placed in a meadow deep. Just not yet, not at this hour
Soiled in the the seed it is now permiated into my roots, giving me the boost to keep growing. Reaping what I sow
I will not wither, fade, or ebb. I shall stand tall within my root bed allowing to be fed, and fostered. People are turning their heads, they see color in me
For I am firmly rooted, soils bed has fertilized my core. Beyond any compare. Stare and gaze, at the gardener’s hand. All His plan. Me just willing to be the soot for His making
Peace in the watered bed of soil I lay today, and everyday. May the storm pass fast, stalk not dwindle
Flourish not flounder in my pot of life, shears keeping pruning. Grooming. Vibrant no matter the weather’s climate, catching every passerby eyes they see new growth blooming
As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. Psalm 103:15

Totally Tubular 😁! God is so gracious, and I get to abide/thrive in Him to no end. I am no longer afraid of where I am going when I pass one day. I used to be all because of the shame game. I don’t reside there today. Praise God for that. I just got done writing, and I always feel so grand after. God definitely feels my soul, and for thee I will continue to uphold. Blessing kind fellow, and may all of us keep on shining bright in Him! Lisa
