NAMELESS WEED

And shewedst signs and wonders upon Phãr'aoh,
and on all his servants, and on all the people of
his land; ...So didst thou get thee a name, as
it is this day....Nehemiah 9: 10

nameless weed

A tiny weed stood alone

E'enly spaced her seed is sown.

Spikey stems burst thru' fertile soil

Encased by natures foil.

Lips cupped... she began to shout...

Raising thin arms skyward...

"LORD, DIDST THOU FORGET MY NAME?"

I AM THE FIRST TODAY TO SPROUT...

WILL THERE BE MORE OF THE SAME?"

YES, INDEED! a voice from heaven said,

"You are prime choice... lift up your head!

I painted you yellow for eyes to see

Your weed is sunshine below a tree."

nameless weed

Weeds like this have been growing by a tree stump in back of our
house for a few years now and it is the first sign of color after
the snow melts in the spring...I am ashamed to admit I do not
know the name of this pretty weed but it reminds me of a breath
of sunshine and a feast for the eyes to greet the new season.
