When School Assignments Are Actually Fun

Hullo people. Want to see a poem I wrote for school? Ya you do. Here it is.

... actually, first, here's the Scripture that inspired the poem:

Jeremiah 17:7-8: “But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, 

whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water 

that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; 

its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought 

and never fails to bear fruit.”

And here's the poem.

My dear, it hurts to see you here,

Growing in the plain,

So far from any river clear,

Whose flood might you sustain.

Sweet tree, you reach your branches

Ever upwards towards the sun,

But slim indeed your chances

Far from where the rivers run.

A mile or so away from you

Run waters pure and sweet,

Glass-clear with Truth that once you knew

When they ran by your feet.

Without Truth you cannot stand,

You will wither, you will die:

Let me take you from the sand

And bring you to the water's side.
