Of course

You will not be a growth which in
the autumn loses pith and grin.
That is your judgement, when alone
you think it best to be a stone.

And it is true, to be correct
should not be triggering respect.
But look at trees which fruit produce!
A fruit tree is not quite at use.

And, even the small flower free
will nectar give to busy bee.
Perhaps the flower does not strive.
Though, in a way it is alive.

The thing is, green to be is it
by which a being will be fit
to Jesus Christ, in life The Lord.
The green is what He will afford.

There is no recognition of
stone dead in any Christian, know.
Stone dead is what the boring is.
One has no sympathy for this.

There is no life in being dead.
Stone dead you have in fact no head.
Stone dead unable is to love.
Unable stone dead is to grow.
