Poem: "Farming for Hearts"

 

Every farmer understands the beauty of a seed

For the farmer  knows the bounty of his harvest will  spring from just such seeds.

Some people  will look at a seed and see a small and insignificant object.

Those people fail to see the possibility hidden in the tiny seed

They do not recognize the energy and zeal, that  lies within.

However, the farmer knows that if the seed is tended; its full potential will burst forth.

A human heart is very much like a seed unseen and holding unrealized beauty

Some people will never see the love a heart can give.

Pray, that like the farmer tends his crop, the people will tend to hearts

For there is a bountiful and beautiful harvest, awaiting to burst forth.
