A regular stop on my tours through blogdom is Jade Page Press,
where one can have fun with music, language, and life its ownself.
Nan just wrote a poem that I would have called "God Just
Loves Life." She titled it "highly unlikely." Enjoy!
highly unlikely
through the crack in the road
past the mud and the frost
comes forth a force
that is gradual and sure
and unlike in your dreams
when terrified
you try to scream
and barely a sound escapes
the impossible green shoot
of the plant with the tiny bud
bursts up and out
and blooms.
despite the apparent conditions,
there is enough soil and sun,
and water to prove wrong
your underestimation.

Steve, I like your alternate title! Good one! This is indeed about life force that is beyond any human estimation! I'm glad you liked it.
