GOD’S SEED

GOD’S SEED

Author Phyllis Conway

God planted in each human heart a tender little seed,

And invited us to care for it and tend its every need.

He warned us of the dangers we would meet along the way,

That thorns and weeds would gather there in our hearts from day to

Day.

 

He told us when we needed help we would find him waiting there,

To call him we should just knee down and say a little prayer.

He would help us overcome those weeds from his heavenly home

Above

One day that peace would flourish into a rose of peace and love.

God promised us that little seed would never wither or decay,

If we always gave a helping hand to those we meet along the way.

Not just our friends, and neighbours but our enemies and foes,

We should share the petals in our hearts from that sweet smelling

Rose.

The years are swiftly passing – just as the river flows,

The more I share these petals, the sweeter grows my lovely rose.

I Pray

When life is over God will say, “Well done indeed. You have done your best and nourished well my tender little seed.”
