So you feel as though
you’re only one
in earthly meadow’s millions,
two feet,
a pair of arms,
sundry assorted parts
that fail to set
your arrangement apart;
but if you chose not to bloom,
the gap where your
smiling face should
appear
would be left bare,
blank in the canvas,
one beautiful brick
short of a load –
so bloom. Take your place
proudly, stand in the gap,
and watch the whole
world grow,
one
little
flower
at a time…
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Very encouraging–I love “stand in the gap”!
A high calling, right?
It is, and an honor–and sometimes I complicate it way too much.
Awww…that’s encouraging.
Bloom, gal!! 😉
Watch me!
The “stand in the gap” line resonated with me as well.
With so many falling through the cracks so to speak, standing in the gap may just be a crucial skill we can offer! Thanks Lyle….
I love the pettiness of these godly blossoms and how well we can see our self in the jot and tittle of God’s signature !
Every tiny detail is arranged, isn’t it? Thanks Debbie! How are you feeling these days??
still recuperating but always remembering God’s grace and, your poetry is one of them Melody. Thank you for asking dear.
An inspirational feel to it filled with encouragement!
Thanks Rosy!

Thanks so much, Debbie.
