Life. It is a Gift.
We all have one.. but how do we use it?

 A Brief Testimony


Scarred and blank
A deserted hillside
But what!
A single flower grew,

Its petals soft and white
Reflecting the Light
Inside the morning dew.

By those precious
Life-giving drops
That flower continued to be

Until the day
It withered away
Leaving behind.. 
A brief testimony.

Might we now mark 
Our own days in deference
To truly making
A worthy difference
 
Be it by land or by the sea..
Let it be written 
In our own
Brief Testimony.
 
 
Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart,
but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end.
Ecclesiastes 3:11

AMEN! WE THAT FOLLOW CHRIST WILL NEVER KNOW, ON THIS SIDE OF GLORY... HOW, WHEN OR WHERE HE HAS USED US IN SO MANY WAYS FOR HIS EXPRESS PURPOSE. WE ARE, AS YOU HAVE EXPRESSED SO BEAUTIFULLY, BUT A BRIEF TESTIMONY(JAM 4:14). SO ENJOYED, THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

This is so beautiful, dear Sis! What an urgent lesson from a flower that quickly fades ~ take the gift you are given, no matter how meager, and BLOOM! God has a purpose for you.

Love you,
Connie

We should leave behind something of ourselves for posterity. What I hope to leave behind is my writing.

A beautiful challenge in you poem. We only have a minuscule of time to live. We should think of a way to make it count. Flower, if only for a moment.

I believe you have a picture of a primrose. One of the most ubiquitous and hardy wildflowers out there… Growing on poor soil without water but providing beauty momentarily before going to seed perpetuate the species during the next opportunity grow and flower.
