The strawberries have
delicate tiny white
flowers,
and I like to think
that small flower
is God's way of
heralding
the coming of the
sweet delicous fruit.

Just as our faces
flower
with a smile of
serenity and peace,
that announces to the
world,
if they but only
can see,
that deep within
our hearts and souls,
the sweet fruit of His
Spirit
is ripening,
clensing all the
sourness
into the fruitful
blossoming
of His merciful
Love.
