Looked this one up to print last week and the printer isn't working again.
Some issue a couple of weeks ago. Fixed.
Haven't yet called support again.
Ode to Rose
How lovely a blooming rose.
It’s beauty comes from within, it glows
as its petals open and pose.
Spiraling around it shows
one petal at a time, it grows
full bloom into a lovely rose.
How fragrant this blooming rose
delighting everyone’s nose
as most everyone knows.
How beautiful it grows.
Covered with dewdrops, it glows.
Yes, how lovely a rose.
It’s the object of many poet’s prose
who often pen heartfelt tributes to a rose
one day quoted as romantic words sowed.
You’ll find this perfect rose from thorns arose –
as joy from sorrow one day will be bestowed.
Yes, hope deferred is born – as time will show.
It’s the thorns in life that eventually sow
internal beauty grown from heartache and woe,
the end result being lovelier than a rose.
Long-time gardeners know a rose
will endure a lifetime of woes
for roses attract many foes.
Not only are poets romanced by a rose,
so are aphids and green worms, and black spot grows.
These insects might be knocked off with the water hose.
Even deer are know to nip off rosebuds by their nose
often tattle-tailed by the tell-tale print of their toes.
Yes, roses are know to attract many unwanted foes.
Despite the woes
that roses pose,
lovely is a rose.
This ode to a rose
written in prose
now comes to a close.

This ode refers to “hope deferred”
as in when our dreams are on hold
or when prayers are seemingly ignored.
As we all know, waiting is hard to do,
even though patience is bestowed, it’s true,
as diamonds in the rough turns into jewels.
Yes, waiting has much to teach everyone of us.
It ultimately grows our faith as we learn to trust.
It’s meant to be a time of rest instead of stress.
As we grow in faith and faithfully trust
we realize God has a good plan for us,
our prayers are heard and therein we place our trust.
So we wait for our prayers to one day be answered
then often realize God had a better answer
for it’s in God’s time wherein lies the key to the answer.
Often when God doesn’t answer your prayers when you’d like him to,
it’s because He has something much better in His plan for you.
In the meantime, continue to give God glory because He loves you.
In God’s time, in God’s time...
God makes all things possible in His time.
May the prayers I offer Him
bring glory to my King
as God makes all things possible in His time.
(Deviation of “In His Time”.)
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
Proverbs 13:12
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.
Psalm 29:2
Thy will be done.
Matthew 6:10 (KJV)
