Right by the road where all could see,
but it was noticed only by me
It was a lowly goldenrod
though it reminded me of God.
It was a perfectly shaped cross,
made of a flower, not a tree,
but only for me to see.
I thiught, it is empty of the one who died,
the Saviour, who had a spear in His side.
He suffered so much for everyone,
so all people could know God's son.
Just a small flower, but the message it sent,
couldn't be ignored. Repent.
If we look around us each day,
we will be reminded that Jesus is the only way.
The wonder of it all is, it is still powerful
today, not a flower or cross of wood,
but Jesus Christ's own precious blood.[
