Thistle

Thistle grows in downtown alleys
and along side of country roads.
Until this day, I had never known
thistle also flourishes
within the hearts of beautiful souls.
Souls whose lives are gifts
to we who never dreamed of thistle
being more lovely than a rose.

We are blessed
when there is thistle.
We are blessed
more than you can suppose.
For when thistle grows within your hearts,
God’s love is at the root
and the thistle therein spreads
its seeds of compassion
to distant places.
Where?
The Spirit only knows.
