The Green of Hope
A green shoot appears amongst the browned leaves
The green of potential surround by the wilted feats of the past
Place there by the change of seasons and prompted by the passage of time
The debris reminding me of what was once and again can be
It promotes me not to forget the promise of what my eyes have yet to see
It repeats the dreams of the potential that God has shown me
The revealed green shoot brings excitement and hope for the season to come
A season that will not be harsh to my dream but nurture them to spring forth
I rejoice
I see the green, and I gain hope and being to imagine what it will be
The fruit or the flower the beauty that will soon unfold
I rejoice because God has claimed that it is time
for that calling to woken from its dormancy
Oh, the expectancy of what the future holds for you and me
I clear away dead leaves, and loose debris springtime is near
God's love took hold of the wilt leaves
and placed them to insulated from the harshness of the cold
Now the sun springs for and declares its time
The cold has been defrosted and the seeds of the dream and potential preserved
That green shoot proclaimed a new season has arrived
And now my dreams my hopes can thrive
One day soon with care and power from the Son
The green shoot will declare more than hope It will declare it is done.
I pray that this poem blesses you and speaks hope to the season you are in or insulates you with patience and expectancy for the ones to come.
