Pruning Season – by Katie H.
“Master, it hurts!”
“Yes, I know.”
“But Master, why?”
“You must grow.”
“No! No Master! Not that! Please!
Anything but the Shears!”
“My child, you must trust in me.
Come, I'll wipe away your tears.
Being pruned is painful;
But better fruit you'll grow;
And there's a purpose for even this.
Believe in me, I know.”
