My wish for you is to have no troubles
No worries
No hurts
No adversity
But I know without these things
Your roots cannot grow deep
You could never feel the joy
Of triumph
Or walk in faith peacefully knowing
God would always keep you in his arms
When you are all alone
Feeling deserted, betrayed
Or feeling sorrow
Your roots will keep you grounded
Your mind will be stayed on Him
Like a tree planted by the waters
You will survive!

When everything in life is smoothe sailing, it's easy to drift away from our Savior, but when things go terribly wrong, we turn to Him in distress.  Perhaps He has to allow the valleys so we stay near and dear as we should.  I enjoyed your piece.
