Sow What

We always reap that which we sow So, sow seeds of joy for those that you know Sow words of kindness for friend and for foe Sow charity for the downtrodden fellow Sow forgiveness for those who were wrong Sow patience for those not as strong Sow knowledge for those who are weak Sow support for those who are meek Then watch how your garden grows Within the hearts of all of those Who benefitted because they also know We always reap that which we sow

VERY good, Joe. A great example from among your poems to show the theme of your contest. I like how you used the expression to even improve on it! Luv, Andrea

Words of wisdom, Joe. Indeed, I believe we reap what we sow. Many happy returns in your harvest through life. Excellent poem with words that we all need to remember. I think Rhonda Hero's miraculous recovery from heart surgery proved that those who offer kindness and support to others are held in special regard by God. Love, Carolyn
