Out of the dark~~~~

[Jo McDonald]

I received this today --- Profound~~~~
Jo   

Out of the dark forbidding soil,
The pure white lilies grow.
Out of the black and murky clouds,
Descends the stainless snow.
Out of the crawling earth-bound worm,
A butterfly is born.
Out of the somber shrouded night,
Behold!  A golden morn.
Out of the pain and stress of life,
The peace of God pours down.
Out of the nail, the spear, the cross,
           Redemption,
           And a crown!

[Catwoman]

I love this, Jo...After the week I've had at school, this is a particularly good read!
