In the Beauties of Springtime When things come alive, It stands as a stark backdrop For what does not survive. As far as the Day is from the Night The Spring differs from the Fall, While many things,to life do come 'Tis not Spring time for all! So for those trees in winter's cold Whom to it's chill succombs, Despite the life that's all around The Springtime never comes. It's something that we've witnessed And most obvious to see, Springtime never comes again To the poor dead, lifeless tree! Is there not a lesson giv'n By Nature's illustration? For one dead and lost in sin For new life, there's no ocassion. In the deadness of the flesh Hope anew there cannot be, For new life does not magically appear To those dead and lifeless trees! And if your life's not here renewed By Grace through Faith designed, A place in Heaven's Springtime realm My friend, you'll never find. From sin's death and guilt be freed The Savior can accomplish this thing, By your obedience to His Word The soul to Springtime, He'll bring. If therefore, ye be in Christ Sin's deadness past from you, A New Creature you can be With all things, He makes new! For you, the choice is yours to make Choose Life in Christ and be, Unlike Springtime's enigma-- That lifeless dead old tree! "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

Dear David; Though beautifully written and the analogy unique, this a chilling reminder of the absolute truth. A truth that too many are unwilling to believe. It is, as christians, our most important job. To, by our lifes' example, bring as many as possible to this truth. Thanks, david, as usual, well done my friend. Love, Ellie 02 |

Dear David. Another great thinking poem. I too have likened the seasons and the rebirth in the spring to being reborn in Christ. I've always felt that way. The follower of Christ is awakened and renewed, while the sinner is like the annual plant and the child of God is the perennial. I love this. Sincerely, Rwood |
