I am not that broken blossom
Drooping in the garden,
Withered, as time and the weather
Gave no grace or pardon.
All of its dreams now perishing,
Its petals line the bed,
Til all that’s standing in the rain’s
A bowed and barren head.
I have the grace to see myself
As more than battered bloom,
For though my body’s breaking down
My soul will beat the tomb
And rise upon the warming breeze,
My blossom’s sweet perfume.
Job 32:9
It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right.
It is not only the old who are wise, not only the aged who understand what is right.
