A Thorny Proposition in Green Acres
Green valleys appear so peaceful
But I notice the growing things are tough
These things thrive because they can take diverse conditions
It can be very wet or very dry
Roads here often bear scars of passing off road vehicles
Who would consider green acres crucibles of affliction?
Pass here warily
For the first appearance may be deceiving
There's thorns among us
Follow the road though it curve and twist
Not all blossoms are friendly
In fact they can piece the skin when the unwise come in close
Yes other passed this way
But who knows their story? What lessons can these markers give?
Temporary peace attached to circumstance is fleeting
Cling to the path near still waters for they lead to a deeper peace only God can give.
