Robert Frost - Lodged

The rain to the wind said,
'You push and I'll pelt.'
They so smote the garden bed
That the flowers actually knelt,
And lay lodged--though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt.

This beautiful poem was the basis of a sermon at our church this past sunday and the message was one of Job. Many hurts, pains and sorrows will befall us duriing our lifetime. We will be battered by human loss of a loved one, a divorce, death of those dearest to us, retrenchment and separation. But from the pain and ashes eventually we will arise! Not dead but mearely bending and sheltering until we have the human strength and above all help and faith to arise again, blossom again and seek to fulfill our god given destiny. With love and faith we will resurrect our self and our soul.

I feel as if he writing about lifes hardships, and how it gets you down. It leaves you tattered and scared, but after it's dowsing, you are still alive, and that's all that matters, to go on, living another day.
