I was a closed bud, as we all are meant to be, in our sweet budding time of life. And, as Grace dictates, we are meant to unfold. Petal by petal, to grow into wholeness. But,if the pain is too great, and the love absent, the bud remains a bud. Who is to say of God's timing. Does every bud flower, at one moment in time? Still, there is the natural order of things. In this order, a child grows, and blossoms, who is cherished and loved. So, it is to be mourned, the years lost of full flowering, and gratitude, that it came at last. One petal at a time. Learning to trust Him enough, to let Grace unfold her beauty. 02 |

I found a wonderful messege in this poem, I understand what you are saying but, it didn't flow that well for me. Probably I have not the ear for poetry that i wish i did and I mean in no way to insult your poem but I was wondering if there was a typo either with stanzas or line breaks. If not please excuse me, i was just thinking maybe you could look it over again to make sure there wasn't any computer gliches or something. you can't make footprints in the sand of times that you are sitting down |

I so agree with you as I've noticed people who've missed a part of their childhood revert to recapture it later on. It's like God wants them to have it no matter when plus theirs such beauty in growing at different paces. |

This is very touching. I have seen the truth in this so many times. As a pediatrics nurse, I see children that are abused and unloved that bloom with loving care just as we bloom with God's loving care. Wonderful. God Bless, Anita |

Dear ELLIE, I see strongly in your regret at being deprived as a child, and missing some of the wonderment which ought to be the birthrite of all children. And that is sad--but God's Love, caring, nurturing & grace can overcome the lackings of men- and bring out what may be late but not NEVER. I'm glad you found fulfillment -even if it was delayed, and are able to love God more for it. God Bless you, David "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- |
