There is a time and a season for everything,

We've felt the death that winter brings

With its unmerciful winds that blows,

We still have faith...so on we go!

We've lived through winter, we all have died!

But NOW I feel hope come alive!

Don't judge too quick this prickly stub,

With all it's thorns...and ugly nubs.

For NOW it's "God's season of Spring," ya know!

And with it, "God's sunshine love," and it will show!

And so I say, "Hang on!" or "So be it!"

Let them laugh at us and say, "We don't see it!"

Just remember what Christ said to the Apostle Paul,

When he knocked him from his horse, Paul took a fall!

Don't kick the prick ....and miss the Rose!

"I'll revive you, and then you'll KNOW!"

"You were 'pruned' to survived the cold,

And Yes, only my Anointed few were told."
