Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Like worries and problems they grow

Dandelions

by justjo66

Dandelions

Dandelions grow in my front yard
And everywhere it seems
Most people think of them as weeds

I see a sunny yellow flower
Rising to meet each morning
Glistening from the dew

God gave these happy flowers
the ability to grow just about anywhere
Health benefits galore

You see, it's all in the looking
Why should I plant flowers?
When God has given me a carpet of
Dandelions


Life sometimes seems to only give us weeds. Worries and troubles crowd out life's joys. Yet, if we will take the time. Maybe, sit out on a cool front porch. The sun coming up and the breeze making the trees dance; a person can see the beauty God has made and know that He has created these beautiful things that grow wild along the by-ways and highways (and a lot in my yard). He holds the reigns to all of life including mine. I don't have to worry. My Father has it under control.
