THE INVISIBLE SEED

Sunlight cheered the dawning day, Another gift of time,
To choose the seeds that do the deeds, That nourish body-mind.
Though heart seeds are invisible, When sown bear lovely fruit,
They're known as The Beattitudes, In Matthew and in Luke.

The soil of opportunity, Appears most everywhere,
Affecting every phase of life, So we must plant with care,
Both physical and spiritual needs, For body, mind and hearts,
It starts with seeds to do the deeds, Each Earthling has a part.

A fallen one has tumbled down, A sloping thorny patch,
A caring hand reached out to help, And rescued with dispatch.
Ah, that satisfaction feel, You've helped make someone's day,
More opportunities await, To spread more kindness rays.

To nourish yet another soul, With growth from last year's seed,
That spreads abroad the fruits of love, To meet another's need.
Life's journey moved the years along, Seeds planted long ago,
Have sprung from former gifts of love, I wept with joy to know.

'Twas all a part of God's design, Each deed from you and me,
Inspires other hearts to give, Unbounded love flows free.
To know each seed that's planted brings, A fruiting of its kind,
Whate'er the need, just plant that seed, As thoughts may send to mind.

And as these seeds spring forth each day, Enjoy their lovely flower arrays.
Fruit appears when blooms are through, With still more gifts for you.
The living seed still carries on, Inspiring other hearts,
Who feel the joy of giving, And want to play their part.
To realize that cherished hope, God's spirit does the rest,
Our search through time, that Peace on Earth, Fulfillment of life's quest.
