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
