Line of inquiry: Track where lies the fulcrum of the fragrance of a rose, then likewise find within your soul~~

The wired airplane
 
            sits
   
               upon a single

                       pointed fulcrum


It can be spun

          around

               but
     
                  stays balanced


Jesus Christ is 

          my fulcrum

                my rose of Sharon

                      my stabilizing point


I met Him

       when I was a wee
   
                    child

                         so young, in new faith


Years have passed

              my faith

                    remains

                          He is my Rock, my Savior, my Rose of Sharon

Andrea, yes, I know when Jesus saved me. I haven't always been all I should be, but He keeps on giving His love away. Sara K

I am saddened to learn of your illness. I have wondered where you might be. I never thought about you being sick. I hope that healing is in the near future for you. Sara K
