The Legend of The Dogwood Tree

When Christ was on earth, the dogwood grew

To a towering size with a lovely hue.

It branches were strong and interwoven

And for Christ's cross its timbers were chosen.

Being distressed at the use of the wood

Christ made a promise which still holds good.

"Not ever again shall the dogwood grow

To be large enough for such a tree, and so,

Slender and twisted it shall always be,

With cross shaped blossoms for all to see.

The petals shall have bloodstains marked in brown,

And in all the blossom centers a thorny crown.

All who see it shall think of me,

Nailed to a cross from a dogwood tree.

Protected and cherished the tree shall be

A reflection to all of my agony."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Scriptures~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and
my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.
Psalm 91;2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And when you pass through the rivers, they will
Not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire,
You will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the LORD, your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior-
Isaiah 43:2-3
