Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

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.

John Watt March 8, 2020 at 4:41 PM 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
