Where Am I From

I read Davids' challenge, and though I have not met him as friend-yet, I couldn't resist. So I gave it a try.

David L Article Challenge

I am from the Never-ending,

that called me forth one day,

wrapped in meager flesh - and Spirit,

upon my first birthday.

I am born from parents,

that loved me, this I'm sure,

and I was born of One,

of Whom love Divine is pure.

I am from the pain and joy

of ups and downs life brings,

enduring each in it's time,

from whatever source it springs.

I am from a teardrop,

that lays upon the ground,

watering the mighty oak,

oftentimes is where I'm found.

Someday when dust has claimed its own,

and I rest beneath the tree,

you will know from whence I came,

my Spirit once again is free.

Virginia, yes, an elegant rendition to life.... ah, sometimes I wish I were a poet but since I am not I've been blessed by the many offerings from those who are. . .

Happy Thanksgiving
