Joyride
“Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom,
and a little flower”.
– Hans Christian Andersen
A little flower in the garden
not very large, or tall, or bright.
For this, she seeks pardon.
God graces her with His light.
His sun shining in the skies
attracts the little flower’s head
and soon her face and eyes
behold the sunshine’s thread.
It fills her with a freedom
like she’s never known before.
She awakens simply to need Him
and He, she comes to adore.
Her little face fills with happiness
shining prettily pink and red.
He colors her with tenderness;
she stands proudly without dread.
Life is living and loving all things
without need to feel outside.
Accepting the gifts He brings
makes living a jubilant joyride.
