Harvest Thoughts...


The 'harvest' is in full-swing...
 

as is the ever-sacred, ever-planting season!


How swift the seeds return
With harvest-heavy grant
The laborer is sure to learn
We gather what we plant

The heart is like a field
Where toiling is in vain
Unless we sacrifice its yield
To the Giver again

What good is grain/gain galore
For the poor that we see
If we offer them nothing more
Than verbal sympathy
 
So small, the seeds that fall
But what a vital part
For harvest is a Holy Call
In the field of the heart 

Then pray we keep in mind
The planting-season's sums
Of seeds that will reveal their kind
When harvest season comes
