A MIRACLE FROM GOD




One day a rose bloomed in the desert
It was a marvelous thing to see
It was not a desert flower
And it was not a fantasy

  Now yucca plants and cacti
Are native to the land
They do not ask for water
Nor require care from man

  But roses must be pruned and fed
And sheltered on cold nights
They should be deeply, gently watered
And tended to just right

  How drab the barren desert
So colorless and plain
So a rose upon such dismal land
Was indeed a claim to fame

People came from miles around
To observe this awesome sight
A rose growing in the desert
Was a phenomenal delight

Horticulturists and scientists
In no way could explain
The how's and why's and wherefore's
Of a rose on such terrain

But God above was watching
All this activity below
And He could not help but smile
For He knew why the rose should grow

  With loving care, He'd placed it there
It was not just a holy whim
Miracles are His specialty
And he wanted folks to think of Him

  So if one sees a lovely rose
Upon the desert's floor
Do not search for explanations
Just be pleased ... and thank The Lord
