What a truly awesome thought indeed, <br />That throughout your day you live among seed. <br /> <br />Not the seeds that one would find in the ground, <br />These are not seen, but in the heart they are found. <br /> <br />These seeds are planted by the children of God, <br />As they simply follow the path The Savior has trod. <br /> <br />Your life as a Christian is not merely good deeds, <br />As your faithful witness could plant one of these seeds. <br /> <br />Or your life may be busy with a seed you don't know, <br />And your faithful witness is helping that little seed grow. <br /> <br />Planting and watering, as a Christian, is all we afford, <br />While all of the growth of that seed comes from the Lord. <br /> <br />After a little growth it is no longer a seed, <br />But a new vibrant Christian prepared for a deed. <br /> <br />The deed that has been prepared, I'm sure that you know, <br />Is to plant some new seed and to help water and help grow. <br /> <br />Once they have grown, they are cut with God's sickle of love, <br />And taken by The Lord to their Father's Home up above. <br /> <br />Whether the numbers are few or they are many, <br />You can be part of The Lord's Harvest of Plenty. <br /> <br />(Copyright © 08/2002)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lord-s-harvest-of-plenty/
