Just the Same

By Diana Lynn Lacey

 

Sometimes—

 

God sends rain

 

Straight from the sky

 

To nourish the young flower

 

and it grows.

 

 

Sometimes—

 

God sends rain from the sky

 

To the mountaintops,

 

Then over hills and through valleys

 

Until it reaches the flower

 

and it grows, just the same.

 

 

Sometimes—

 

God sends a child

 

Straight from His realm

 

Into a mother's arms

 

and love grows.

 

 

Sometimes—

 

God sends a child

 

From heaven to another's arms,

 

Then over hills and through valleys

 

Until he reaches the arms of his mother

 

and love grows, just the same.
