I Wonder
Sometimes I wonder how a tree
can stand the way it does -
so crooked, gnarled and twisted.
I wonder what it was...
What made it lean way over -
its shallow roots in mud?
Or was its last encounter a -
tornado? lightning? flood?
Though I am not an expert,
and haven't much, a clue -
I've often looked at people,
and wondered how they grew.
Opinions leaning way too far
with grumpy, creaking sounds -
they're true, 'un-timbered' miracles
with such unbalanced pounds.
But God still pours out blessings.
His grace forever flows -
and nourishes the lazy root -
no matter how it grows.
Sometimes I wonder how a man
can stand the way he does -
so crooked, gnarled and twisted.
I wonder what it was...
