Scatter Your Seeds

I write a poem nobody reads,
Am I not still sharing His word?
The song I sing  that none may hear
Is a song  I’ve sung  for the Lord

Scatter your seeds  though many fall
On shallow ground or rocky soil.
If  but one lands on fertile ground,
It just may turn a life around.

Scatter good seeds, scatter good seeds.
The Bible says we must scatter good seeds.
Some don’t take root, you’ve done your best
Ask the loving Lord to care for the rest.
A gardener sows  and some seed grows
Where, not even the gardener knows. 
Scatter by  words or sow by deeds.
The Lord wants us to scatter good seeds..
