WHAT GREAT POTENTIAL LIES WITHIN ? """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Written by S.C. Mitchell January 2016 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" Whichever way we turn of late - we see new shoots Of purest green spring forth - out from the crusted soil Of winter's passing chill - a glorious sight - a sign of hope - As like a tiny babe - who eyes awake - with trust - emerging From the passing night - to gaze at all around - not knowing that With each new day - new cells are being formed - that build their Tiny frames - with strength - towards the dawning light . What great potential lies within each wondrous form - of fauna - Man or beast - as yet unknown ? - what beauty and what courage Lies within each living cell - to be revealed when each is fully grown ? What aspirations beat within each fragile human breast - as yet still in Its embryonic stage of life - that hasn't stood - unyielding - in the fire Or the floods and shocks - of life's relentless tests . Such wonder - only a Being - greater than our lesser selves - Could ever bring to life - out of the trodden soil - or darkest womb - Into this world of glory and of strife - Yet - such it is - as only He can knit Us to perfection - in His image - each so different - and unique - and Yet - in so many ways - alike . So let us now - with all the gifts and talents - that may as yet lay Dormant at this time - reach forth - and strive to be what we were Destined to become - with Faith and Hope - as banners lifted high - To be the very best - in all the heights we dare to aim - until we hear These words - ' Well done - My friend - Well done ' - Throughout it all - you've done your best - Now - Welcome Home ' . """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" As we start this New year of our Lord 2016 , I pray that for each of us we will strive to do our very best with all that our Creator has placed within us . May every good endeavour take root , and spring up into a new life of potential for the good of all God bless you all In His love Stella >< Vote for this poem
