God's Provision

If it wasn't for the Lord
Who gave us sun and rain
We wouldn't have a harvest
Only land that's dry and plain.

So thank you Lord for blessing us
With everything we need
The sun and rain that nourishes
The planting of the seed.








For Brian's contest, Harvest

Very good, and I mean good, my brother in Christ, I checked out the You tube video and I liked it, sorry about the poem I was supposed send, but being truthful I just don't have any short poems out of my collection of seven hunded, but I will work on it, you might try Instrumental Lad because it deals with guitars and the church, and of course a calling, God Bless you and yours Leon and looking forward to hear some more poems from you, Robert A. Ball
