Banana "tree"


Psalm 145:5 New English Translation (NET Bible)

5 I will focus on your honor and majestic splendor,
and your amazing deeds.

 

 

The roots alive the tree seems dead

Long live the banana!

The power of the growth this spring

is in the mass hidden below

 

Larger than the year before 

fuller than Manana

It will spread its wings of green

where no other now will grow

 

How mysterious is nature

with its variety under the sun

Man cannot comprehend

the vastness of just one plant

 

Waiting for the rapture

when all work is done

as then we’ll understand

the Might of God’s hand
