Living Fountain

I walked into a garden
and saw the most beautiful flower
that I’ve ever seen;
it was perfect in every way
the petals were so round and red
it sweet aroma seemed to be calling to me
as I came closer to it the lush crimson red petals
began to fall and the closer I got to it
more of the petals would fall until they covered me
but I kept walking closer to the flower hoping to discover
what kind of flower it was
when I reached where the flower was suppose to be
I saw a man standing there instead and He was calling my name
I didn’t ask who He was because I already knew
I turned around and saw the petals were really a sea
of this Man’s blood, the blood of my Savior and King
He died so that I could be forgiven of my sin
and so that the bridge between me and God
could be restored
then I reached my hands toward His
and said, “Thank you”.
