    This week I have another revision of an older song. Enjoy and critique!

    Bloom (Where you are)
    Flower, you’re crowned with a jewel-like bud
    But all you think about is that you’re planted in mud
    Flower, your crown is a ‘drooping low
    With wishing that the winds would be soft in their winnow

    Flower, the sun has never failed you
    The rains have never ceased to distill water when due
    Flower, you have all that you will need
    To grow up and mature from your faith’s very small seed

    You don’t need another’s soil to grow strong
    Grow right here and honor Him all the day long
    Do not be envying another’s hue
    Focus on unfolding your own bloom to
    Christ. Under His caring hands you belong
    All you need to do is bloom where you are

    Flower, you’re gazing above you at
    Others who seem to flourish, and seem safe in their plat
    Flower, don’t envy them; He made both
    You and them, giving to all enough room for good growth

    He planted you here for a good reason
    His wisdom is sure in every season
    Do not doubt that He is in control , though
    Monsoons pound you and hurricanes blow.

    Spread out your roots around the Rock and hold
    Fast to the Word , treasure of worth untold.
    Let the bud unfurl into bloom.and be
    Flower sweet with His praise eternally.
