Frozen Blossom
Frozen blossom can still thrive well, indeed
Since God always refreshes by His grace*
Letting plants to grow along goodness-breed
Toward fruition-bliss despite dearth-filled days.
Against grievousness’ pain of coldness-strain
Frozen blossom can still thrive well, indeed
While divine warmth’s reign brightens faith’s terrain
For kindness-gain propelled by loving deed.
With care that nurtures sweet partnership-seed
Against challenges of bitterness’ ail
Frozen blossom can still thrive well, indeed
Beautifying radiant hearts to prevail.
Reared in the garden of triumph’s delight
Along thanksgiving cheer yon prayer creed
Weeding-out callousness midst vibrant light
Frozen blossom can still thrive well, indeed.
*1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
