Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson When sowing in a fallow field A bumper crop you'll hope to yield For many folks, do a good deed Think of others when planting seed Share your harvest and you will find Daily blessings for being kind Don't desire avarice or greed Think of others when planting seed Do not have a bad attitude For everything show gratitude Tomorrow you just might succeed Think of others when planting seed May your garden be filled with sprouts And your days not be plagued by doubts Do not allow contempt to breed Think of others when planting seed Your days will bear sweet ripened fruit And grow when love has taken root Keep your field free of tangled weeds Think of others when planting seeds

Ha, John. I suppose a sow so poem is better than a 'so so' one. Thanks for your humor and the fave. If this one tickled your muse tell her/him to get busy.
