What Holds?

What holds our spirits up so high?

What buoys intentions afflicted nigh?

I watch the world and you pass by.

What holds us all aground?

Watch the tender sapling roots

take hold in soil, become a roof

a canopy of panoplied leaves 

to hold a world of life

What holds it all up in the sky 

where reason for it may surprise?

I know the answer, reason why....

God, my God, how he delights.

God's love is strong, against gravity but with nature, seems like a tree is too far to touch but its canopy throws a shdow..not in reach though.. I don't know, maybe?

Haha. The answer is God. The title here could be "Who Holds" instead of "What Holds" almost changed it, but "what" seems better. The idea of continuance is carried again here. From seed to tree, to home for things, our lives, our optimism, out continuing courage to take on life,... think we probably get these gifts from God. The impressive world we experience has a Creator. Nothing happens by accident. All by purpose.
