Forever Seeds


"While the earth remains,
Seed time and harvest". Bible

Although each one looks identical,
Some will suffer a different fate.
All were fertilized and freely watered;
But not all will participate in the harvest.

Not all will survive to feed the hungry.
Not every seed will become a plant.
Some never burst through the soil.
Not because they don't try their best;

Nor because they were destined to be less.
Some surface, but are flooded by rain.
Some are burned to death by the sun,
But the seed and harvest principle remains.
