Realization

I’m a healthy branch.
I’ll stay over here alone -
Enough bushes on this ranch.
Pollen will be blown.

Hey! I’m not well fed.
My pretty blooms are dying.
I think I soon will be dead.
‘Though I’m trying.

I thought I’d be fine –
No need to dress up and go.
This TV and books are mine.
With them, I can grow.

I abide in Him.
He can best nurture my soul.
I’ll read the Word – sing a hymn –
That’s good on the whole.

But I’ll miss my friends,
Their Christian love and warm smiles.
Pastors teaching’s a zoom lens,
Helps cope with life’s trials.

I’ll not go dormant,
Or just go out of habit!
The Bible’s my informant,
My guide, the Spirit. 

No more gaping cracks in the garden of my soul.
