Bud Monday - Lent 17

Let's go early up to the vineyards. Let's see whether the vine has budded, its blossom is open, and the pomegranates are in flower. There I will give you my love.

Song of Songs 2:12

I remember sitting in our kitchen.  The room was filled with the fragrance of flowers.  Kind friends and family had sent many bouquets following the death of our unborn child.  I saw and watched a lily bud fall from the stem.  I thought 'how apt'.  I tried to write a poem, but it didn't scan, and I screwed it up.

PRAYER: Buds are part of the journey of life.  May I fulfil my part.
