We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.

Weather or Not
To care for plants in these the days
of life is quite a gift.
Their beauty blooms in great displays
their human's heart to lift.

To leave them then to fend alone
for days can cause us pain
for weather changes are quite prone
to hurt as oft to gain.

Some plants may thrive in coldest nights,
yet others, warmest days.
when both exist in shelt'ring sites
survival can dismay.

The best we e'er can hope achieve
is find the middle ground,
that tender plants can to life cleave,
where hot and cold abound.

"Dear Lord of all Creation fair,
Please bless and moderate
the place where we these plants do care
to save in temps so strait.

"If they should live, while absent we,
'tis by Thy loving Smile,
that honors hopes, environs see,
to make of temps an isle.

"I bend my heart unto Your Grace.
Protect these leafy friends,
that when return we to this place,
we'll have them then to tend
in Jesus' Name, Amen."
