A WONDERFUL TREE


Lord you have planted your seed
inside me to grow and grow
help me through Thy Spirit
to teach me all that I must know

Let my seed take root
and bloom into a wonderful tree
full of branches of you my God
so that I may lovingly serve thee

Child as you grow and grow
branch by branch we will entertwine
I shall supply all your needs
as your heart becomes like mine

Paitence is the first branch
together we need to grow
for your time and My time
hold a difference you must know

Next is the obeidence branch
the one that satan will try to break
for when you obey My will and way
all is true and nothing is fake

The third branch required
is a heart full of compassion and care
one that has a multitude of leaves
and with each leaf your willing to share

Next there is a branch
of rightiousness and truth
this branch gets its strength
from deep down in My root

The whole trunk of your tree
that holds your branches in place
is built from the love I offer
when you pray and seek My face

So let us build a wonderful tree
that My lost will be drawn to
let the beauty,love and kindness you share
always and forever shine through

Then together we can plant
another seed inside someone today
and they too can become a wonderful tree
as they grow in My will and way

You've done it again Rose Mary,
  This is a lovely poem crafted in the imagery of a tree and its branches--A special tree indeed, that does need divine nurturing and hopefully see the same reproduced in others as well.  Very Good! David

I love the thoughts here and the meaning!
I'm going to be honest, there a few words here and there that can be left out. If you have an interest, please email me and let me know. I would like to pass them by you and see what you think.
