Weeds or Joy

 

Nestled deep in the tangled weeds,

They are still filled with joy,

For they are rooted in rich soil

That no weed can destroy.  

The world around them may grow bleak,

But they choose to rejoice.

They can’t change where life planted them,

But how they grow’s their choice!

In life we are compelled to choose

To see weeds in the bed,

Or see the world in which we live

Through eyes of joy instead.

Habakkuk 3:18

yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.
