Dahlia
I took this photo in our backyard yesterday, while my boys were playing catch with their Dad. I just loved looking at it this morning. I couldn’t help but sit in awe of the beauty on the surface and what was still to come.

I see you there all alone.
You look as if you want to say something.
I wonder if you know what you will become?
Do you realize the beauty you hold?
.
Even now, not quite grown, you are sure of yourself.
You tip your head ready to receive the sun and the rain.
The heat gets to you, but you still stand.
Through the storms, you bend, but you do not break.
You hold tightly to your foundation – the roots that
sink deep and keep you steady.
.
And, soon we will see your face –
smiling at the Heavens thanking
the One who gave you life.








OH loved this. Such beauty!
Thank you, Arianne! I appreciate it. Your site has given me much to think about and enjoy. Blessings!
