Adoption

Just the Same

by: Diana Lynn Lacey

Sometimes--
God sends rain
Straight from the sky
To nourish the young flower
and it grows.

Sometimes--
God sends rain from the sky
To the mountaintops,
Then over the hills and through valleys
Until it reaches the flower
and it grows, just the same.

Sometimes--
God sends a child
Straight from His realm
Into a mother's arms
and love grows.

Sometimes--
God sends a child
From heaven to antoher's arms
Then over hills and through valleys
Until she reaches the arms of her mother
and love grows, just the same.


Found in the April 2011 Ensign.
