Wait for the LORD

I wonder if the tulip

lying cold in the darkness

for what must seem an eternity

questions if it will ever again see

the sun and feel its warmth.

 

Does it long for a release

from its frosty death

to grow and blossom again?

Those whose hope is Christ

need never wonder nor question

though like the tulip we may

dwell in darkness for a season.

For even if we are not granted

more time to blossom here

we are promised

an eternal dwelling place

with the Most High God

where we shall bathe forever

In the warmth and beauty 

of His glorious presence.

Psalm 27:14

Wait for the LORD;
         Be strong and let your heart take courage;
         Yes, wait for the LORD.
