Deep in the thicket,
the beacon seeks and finds,
no seed nor bud
neglected nor lost;
keep faith in the Light.
Deep in the thicket,
when the first ray shines,
no beauty can parallel
the humility and grace,
that relieved reach
for renewed life.
You will be found,
for you were never lost.
God has always been there
tenderly removing thorns
and lovingly healing the loss.
When that darkness
gets illuminated,
you will see
all the others who
were in the thicket too
who are like you,
and me…
Sometimes we must
wait patiently for the beam,
but we are never alone,
no matter how it seems,
and that wait, I truly believe,
is necessary to fully bloom
among the weeds.

You are most welcome. 🌻 I do believe we would still derive joy from our craft, even if no one read a word, but it is uplifting and motivating to share and receive support in return. Enjoy your Sunday!
