The
Fern
I
happened to meet a fern the other day
I
met her just by chance
When
I went for a solitary walk
In
the forest
She
was so beautiful I thought that God
Had
truly blessed my day
Because
he had put the fern there
Just
for my enjoyment
How
Arrogant
The
fern told me so, in no uncertain terms
Her
only purpose was to enjoy life
By
unfolding from the moist forest floor
and
reach toward the rivulets of sunshine
That
trickled down through the tree branches from heaven.
As
I stood there astounded,
You
arrogant fern
We
are not for your enjoyment
Our
sole purpose is to enjoy life
By
raining down and warming everything we touch
We
are completed
By
now, the trees, and the moss, two
birds and even a mouse
All
overheard the discussion
And
each, had their own story to tell
When
I finally left the forest
I
realized that God may or may not have put the fern there just for me to enjoy
But
no matter what his reasons were
That Fern sure was a beautiful sight to behold
