Thoughts Gleaned from a Dandelion Field

…on prayer

There is power in numbers

And power in prayer

Together they form

A gossamer stair

With angels descending

In legions sublime

More countless in number

Than seeds on the wind

…on attitude

Self-pity blights the single bloom

Compassion enriches eons

Its after-effects filling earth’s living-room

Like ocean’s of dandelions

…on planting

The bud, the bloom, and back to seed

So is this life in thought and deed

…on harvest

These are not solitary blooms, the deeds we do

Or moments to be taken for granted

But gifts to be cherished for some day we will view

The field that once we planted

They drift upon the winds that play

...the kind words you spoke

yesterday...

If we could count each dandelion seed

I wonder how many there'd be

No matter the number it would be nothing more

Than a wink in eternity...

For this reason we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it. Hebrews 2:1
