[bodytext] => Crushed Petals “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18, NIV He was just beginning to show the maturity of manhood, Lord. At a young, tender age when he was yet a tight bud of promise, his fragrance perfumed the air…and now he had attained special educational goals…but would never see his diploma. We are left to wonder “what happened?” He freshly opened rose was crushed before it barely had had a chance to display its beauty. Why God, why? Why did you let it happen? Was his heart as crushed on the inside as his rose was crushed on the outside? I don’t know what more you could ask of a mother who held those fragile, bruised petals in her hands and sobbed into their sweetness. But I take the text above to heart, trusting that You knew he had a broken spirit. And You were close by, just itching to hold him if he’d let You. He was crushed and nearly snuffed out before his death, wasn’t he? We struggle so against not knowing the details even though understanding would not return him to us. He’s resting now. Resting until You call him by name. No matter where we are when you call, please rush our family to his side for a five-way hug.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
