Joy

Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy
Psalm 126.5

Every gardener knows it
The dry ground
Needs rain
To 
Produce 
Life

We know it too
(In our heart of hearts)
(Painful though it is)
Tears are the pathway 
To 
True
Joy

It grows in 
Hidden places
Dark places
Dry places
Its authenticity is released and

True 
Joy 
Grows
