As I am walking
in a field,
this early spring
afternoon.
I see at my feet
everywhere,
the tiniest of
violets,
no bigger than a
babies tears.

I picked one up
and it was perfect,
as God's love is
for me.

I thought how easily
the Love He gives
is crushed
each and every day,
by those hearts
who never see,
His love before
their very eyes.

The violets were spread,
far and wide across the
field,
as He gives His Love
so freely
to every soul He ever
made.

My prayer, dear Lord,
open those eyes
that they might see
Your Love,
no longer crushed
beneath their feet,
but blossom in every
heart.

Dear Ellie,
When one has God in their heart, like you do, the will see evidences and reminder of God, and the things of God, as you do.  Thank you for being so intune to Him, and  being so willing and capable in sharing these things with us and others.   David

Ellie~
Such a delicate reminder of
the tenderness of His love.
The tiny petals of the violet
spread with His love are a sweet
reminder from your pen.
Thank you for sharing this.
