Mornings are bright <br />Evenings light till late <br />Sweat profuse <br />Discomfort ubiquitous <br />Headaches all around <br /> <br />Water is the key they say <br />Drink water, drink water, drink water <br />Water, water, water <br />Not wine or beer <br />Not wine or beer <br /> <br />But water, water, water <br />Rivers are dry <br />Sprinklers forbidden <br />Our garden parched <br />Desert of Sinai conditions <br /> <br />A punishment to be borne <br />Or an opportunity for growth <br />Growth in patience <br />But that’s odd <br />Nothing grows in dry conditions <br /> <br />But Jesus’ temptation was in dry conditions <br />The drought of a parched Sinai <br />It seems God needs to take us <br />Through a period of drought <br />Before we can see growth <br /> <br />©2009 <br />James Hart<br /><br />James Hart<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hot-8/
