A Flower Grows

A Flower Grows

 

A flower blooms

When watered.

Growing in sunlight,

Glorifying the Father.

 

A season of rain

Overshadows its skies.

Still seeking gain,

A flower grows.

 

Never giving up,

Though its surroundings are bleak.

Staying true to its purpose,

It continued to simply be.

 

There for a reason through it all,

It strives to bless.

Sharing hope while standing tall.

A flower grows.

 

The light shines on,

Even though the rain pours.

Then a rainbow comes along,

Bringing hope to a lone flower.

 

When life is tough,

And you know not what to do…

Remember that when God plows an empty cup…

A flower grows.

Wonderful- to be able to just be and accept what’s meant to be- God is in control and when we truly and wholeheartedly trust him nothing can go wrong in knowing He will make a way where there seems to be no way and that we will have abundance no matter what and be overcomers in the end- great words🌹

A very nice offering using a humble flower to illustrate the virtue of persistence in the face of adverse conditions. A nice antidote to the numerous negative poems that abound here.

Suggestion: in verse 3, change continued to continues to maintain unity of tense.

Well said, Melinda. I think the flower can be a symbol for all those who are downtrodden, depressed or injured as well.
