Oh You Lovely Stalwart Stem!
Saturday, November 10, 2018 by Maureen Lewicki

Categories: Jesus Follower / Love Your neighbor / writer's life

Summer heat stifled you But in these warm-waning days

You still reach to the sunny-less sky To bloom

In the growing dark

Smaller than your summer show Yet more delightful to see In a winter-soon garden bed

Oh to be like you Reaching up Beyond the Sonless world Reaching ever toward Him

To bloom Even in the thickening dark Even as the world grows ever more

Wearying-cold

Blooming

Because of Him Seeking, trusting, and blooming In a winter-swept and Sonless world.
