Cryptogram Decoded

Cares pull my spirits down Always force me, ‘wear a frown’ I heard, “You’ll in darkness drown; For weeds in you are also sown.” Seeds like unknown fear and worry Sprouted in my nursery bed of merry On watering, I nourished misery Unable to differentiate their finery Gradually grew seeds called health and wealth But sorrow and sufferings sapped its strength I battled and struggled to save my breath Expecting someone to fill my heart with mirth With this frame of mind No way of escape I could find On reaching office, I read this thought Recited it several times in my heart That every sad day Is followed by a glad day As a team we discussed the layout Of a very important handout Green is good and soothes the eye Yellow and black never get an instant goodbye Red and navy blue give a professional look Lavender or sky blue, gets anyone on hook Everyone suggested a hue And it granted me a cue Of great surprise among a few That if colors carried a clue Of a top secret message Then I remembered a passage For this world Jesus is the true light Who makes the face of any man bright He’ll weed and make me alright My life like aroma will ascend in His sight If each and every shade That Almighty has made Reflects God, as a mighty tower And also expounds His awesome power Unique His way of having seen my form Being formed in womb like a worm Fearful yet surprise filled is His greatness I wonder and move about carrying His likeness
