Life’s Rose Petal Storms

(Excerpt from Creation’s Path “A Poetic Journey of Faith“

Heavy showers

pour on the

garden of my heart

My once beautiful petals

were exposed~

The storms were merciless.

My once admired beauty

And delicate fragrance appeared gone

As darkness

Covers the light

~

You are my Rose of Sharon

~

Morning came

The sun shone again

I looked at the light

As it looked upon me

From a lifeless

Drooping feeble flower

In the storms of life

I cast my cares upon you

My hopes transferred to faith

Head lifting power strengthens me.

As I rejoice

My petals unfold

I am more beautiful than before

My garden reflects

Your Glory

I endure life’s rose petal storms.

Jehovah Rophe “God is our healer” Losing a love one can be painful but remember God will not forsake you.

Pain deep down

In the enter

Parts

Of the

Heart

Pushes up

Wet, watery

Eye rivers

From the depth of the soul

Sorrow

Though not as one

That has no hope

But still sorrow

In the reality of

Someone close

Someone you love

Someone you shared

Your past

Will no longer share

Your presence

Except in thought alone

Eye Rivers

Pour

No more

For joy enters in

One thought

You are now resting

In the arms of our Father

Eye Rivers

Has transformed

To peaceful waters of joy

Knowing that you have

Reached your destiny

Of a Heavenly Home.
