God and Me

(My first small stanza is from Maria Williams' "Ode to Mum") *You are the tea leaves; I am the tea pot; I the tiny snowflake and you the snow.* You are the gardener of many gardens. There isn’t anything You can’t make grow. Once a small seedling, I am your flower. You are my sun and I bask in Your glow. You are the fountain of knowledge and truth. I am but one droplet in your mighty flow. I the lowly tea pot; You the leaves and the water too which make the tea to fill me! To You - everything I owe. March 8, 2020 for Silent One's Poetic Lines From A Poetry Soup Poet - Maria Williams Poetry Contest

Awesome words Andrea. Hope all is well your way. Heard you had the earth rattle a bit. Most things closed down due to virus and hoping to slow it a bit. love phyl

Andrea, this is a lovely tribute both to Maria and to God. I love the humility of each image pairing, always acknowledging being the lesser of the two. Great rhyme work, as always. Beautifully done! ~ John

Andrea, Very nice Rhyme, though I suddenly want some chamomile tea. We make the tea in a pot. His love makes the chamomile flower grow. -Richard
