The tree that grew from seed I sowed with care, <br />And watered well, and loosened soil near roots, <br />Threw leaves and flowers, remaining only bare, <br />As pests prevented it bringing forth fruits. <br /> <br />The tree that grew from seed bird-dropped in wild <br />Became a mammoth one, with leaves and flowers, <br />Afilled with fruits aplenty for each child, <br />Nurtured by sun and rain that fell like showers. <br /> <br />The pampered child of affluence is ill; <br />Money can't better health or buy wisdom; <br />The orphaned child is healthier, brainy still, <br />With beauty human eyes have seen seldom. <br /> <br />God sees the heart and not the feigning frame, <br />And takes the weaker side in any game! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 31-10-2014<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-god-is-most-fair-and-just/
