A Puddle

Taking a glance outside
on a cloudy day.
Not sure what will
be coming my way.

Next to a tree
I noticed something subtle.
Something that mirrors
our lives; a puddle.

The bigger it gets
it increases our fears.
It begins to overflow
when we add in our tears.

If we walk in
we're afraid of getting dirty.
I say we jump in
and throw away our worry.

Remembering this, even on the cloudy days, I must confess
No matter how deep the puddle, He can always clean the mess.
