She sheds her stamens and petals  –

unwanted tears trickling down.

And, what remains is her strength  –

A seedpod – her sole purpose in

This bud, bloom, seedpod cycle.

Glorious beauty I  witnessed firsthand –

Part of the circle of life.

Morning – the most perfect time of day.

Reflect on yesterday, was it sufficient?

Consider  today filled with infinite possibility.

As sun’s rays filter softly through leafy green canopy,

birds call plans to one another, and frogs croak their joy.

Peace and serenity fill my soul with infinite gratitude.

Morning – the most perfect time of day.

Dear Lord,

Hold Bobbie Huskey in the palm of your hand

Watch over her and may your will be done.

Keep her family close and soothe their hearts

from this life altering event.

Heal her mind and body so she

can continue to serve you.

Sustain her as she fights to recover,

and give her strength to persevere.

In thy name I pray,

Amen
