Why The Wild Flowers Grow

I sense a kinship
(why the Wild Flowers grow)

how wildly they grow
freely they grow

unkempt fields

Spring's showery quench    

seeming no care of pruning -- 

Sun the selfless charge of Nature's light
grooming

In season's dusk, green leaves
dutifully giving way for 
skeletal presence of leafless 
far more somber trees

such ordained passing~ all for renewing, 
for ultimate re-blooming --
                     
                      a toning reminder  
as I freckle, yawn and creak -- 
my perennial soul, like that of the Wild Flowers

is faithfully, blessedly attended

under God's eternal, loving keep --

Hilda Greenhough Date: 6/13/2024 10:49:00 AM Often, leaving plants to God, is better than messing with them yourself. Your poem awakes me. Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 6/14/2024 8:46:00 AM When in harmony with God, we are co-creators -- acting alone, thinking we know better, we are more independent destroyers. You are so right. Blessings my friend.

Valsa George Date: 6/13/2024 4:11:00 AM God takes care of everything. The wild flowers grow and blossom unattended by human hands. Yet they thrive under God's care. We too are wild flowers under the eternal care of our Heavenly Father. Beautiful poem dear Joe Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 6/13/2024 10:15:00 AM Thank you so much, Valsa; good to see you back.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/11/2024 9:23:00 AM So nice how you related this one to yourself. Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 6/11/2024 6:32:00 PM After reading your comment, I realize that I generally am a little more universal. A little bit of wildflower in all of us to relate to I guess. Thank you my friend. Blessings.
