Deep Rooted

A Poem I wrote for my Mother who as been through breast cancer and 2 open heart surgeries.

DEEP ROOTED

Deep Rooted she stands in the midst of life’s storms.

Deep Rooted she holds the Father’s hands
with unrelenting faith.

Not knowing what tomorrow will bring,
she lives with a bold confidence of faith in God.

Standing strong and tall facing
every wind that pierces her soul.

Her shoulder’s straight and her determination set.

Raindrops begin to fall
Tears flow down her face
Questions race through her mind.

God’s tender touch comforts her
Renewed faith springs forth
As the winds of change begin to compass her.

Deep Rooted with fresh hope
She Knows her Heavenly Father
Will carry her through
Every life’s storm that blows her way.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall bring forth fruit in old age: they shall be fat and flourishing; To show that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Psalms 92:12-15
