With it's Heart Against a Thorn
I found this poem in Streams of the Desert and liked it so much I decided to share it with all of ya'll! I hope you are blessed by it! Once I heard a song of sweetness, As it cleft the morning air, Sounding in its blest completeness, Like a tender, pleading prayer; And I sought to find the singer, Whence the wondrous song was born; And I found a bird, sore wounded, Pinioned by a cruel thorn. I have seen a soul in sadness, While its wings with pain were furl’d, Giving hope, and cheer and gladness That should bless a weeping world; And I knew that life of sweetness, Was of pain and sorrow borne, And a stricken soul was singing, With its heart against a thorn.

ReplyDeleteMe too! So creative!

Lastly, I just like coffee shop atmospheres to study in and you have to buy something when you go to a coffee shop, so.....;) And that is the end of my lengthy reasoning. :)
Ah, in that case, I agree with you entirely! I can't claim to dislike espresso or something like that. :) Black is awful. :)
DeleteGlad we're back on the same page! ;)
DeleteMm the coffee looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteSome of my friends had to take Greek in college and they said it wasn't very fun at all :/ The Greek page looks pretty, though :)

Yeah, Greek is definitely one of my trails in life. But I did have fun creating that page during the time that I did not want to be studying it. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog, Emily. ;)
