Time to Shine

In the Spring when the garden is bare,

here are some of the objects I put out to fill the void.

They keep things interesting looking

while supporting the plants as they grow.

Soon enough they are smothered in greenery

and I forget they are even there.

Once the flowers have gone and the leaves have fallen

they are all that remain in the quiet bareness.

Today I am happy to rediscover their beauty.

This is their moment to shine.

This happens in our lives as well.

Our days get full to the brim with the demands of the job,

and the needs and wants of others.

Working behind the scenes,
we become so efficient in supporting others
that our efforts become invisible.

Make sure to come forward,

Step into the light, be "seen" and appreciated.

It is your turn to shine.
