Rhodies
Where we seek the Face and Hands of God
Both rhodies and azaleas welcome one and all
One keeps her leaves, waxy and large
The Other is eager-beaver to sunlight power
Blossoming long before it's smaller green foliage -
Explosions of joy, volcanoes of glory and praise
Yet, the Rhododendrons bide. Smiling wide inside ...
Those with broken hearts begin to doubt
If the Rhododendrons will bloom this year
"O they will, and what a parade of pastels will out!
Yes, I await with a grateful heart," I said. Without
Knowing what I was saying, or why.
Today the lavender and scarlet rhodies
smiled back at me: "Thanks for having faith."

NOTE: Faith is believing in tomorrow's gorgeous blossoms, even when your heart may be broken.
