You long for a sweet rest under an oak
You find none, and you feel it isn't ok
You prayed till you bones ache
You waited for answers, and a friend blessed you with acorn seeds
You asked for an apple
But you're given its seed, yet you don't see its need
You are confused, and you wonder if you are still the apple of His eyes
You are advised to plant the seeds in your hand
You calculated how long it will take them to sprout, rise and thrive
Time flies, and the tomorrow of yesteryears is here
Here you are still on your knees, with zeal so rare
You never cease longing for a sweet long nap under an oak
The sweet, crisp yummy-yummy taste of an apple
Like before, you still feel it isn't ok
That your prayers are unanswered, with no sign of miracles
But the small still voice keep saying, ' your miracle begins with you. '
