She Sat Under The Tree

She sat under the tree
In quiet disbelief
"Counting her blessings
In her time of grief"

That which troubled her
Was insignificantly small
Oh for THE GRACE
To be A Pillar, strong and tall

~~~~~~What was ailing her
That which caused her soul pain?
For three decades a thorn
In her soul did remain~~~~~~~~

Who would understand
The language of the heart
Had the time arrived
For A BRAND NEW START?

.......To figure things out
When lost in a maize
Seemed more than unlikely
Her head was in dazed haze

All her blessings
Were more than she could count
Her beloved family
Drank from His eternal fount

So why on earth
Did she feel SO ALONE
When in reality
She had no need to MOAN

.......A generation!
Neglecting THE TRUTH?
Shouting their frustration!
From "The top of the roof"

One sided views
Concepts often oh so unreal
Many on Mother Earth
Needing to heal

.......she waited patiently
For Manu to come
Many young owls passed
Manu's children, having FUN

IN the core of her being
She became aware
That life upon earth
Could be grossly unfair

.......Eventually Manu
Strolled down the track
In times past he had always
'Covered her back'

Gave her understanding
When she faced THE FLACK
Found herself in a MESS
Giving herself the SACK

.......Book of Proverbs states
"Don't waste your breath on fools
For they will despise WISE advice"
Carefully listen to DIVINE RULES

"A simpleton
Goes blindly on
And suffers the consequences"
Why strum the same OLD SONG

"Direct your children
Onto the right path"
In the light of their success
In your old age, you will bask

"Whoever loves
With a pure heart and gracious speech
Will have The King as their friend"
He helps their goals, to reach

.......As Manu sat by her side
In the evening hour
She became aware
The orchard trees, WERE in FLOWER
