The Adoption of a Friend

The Adoption of a Friend
Written: by Tom Wright
January 2014

From obedience to God’s great commission,
He allowed the tiniest of seed to be sown.
For years I imagined this seed as waste,
Perhaps it had just fallen, upon a stone?

Or maybe perished from lack of moisture,
While I spent time seeking, for her, God’s best.
That this seed wasn’t swallowed by some crack,
All the time believing God could do the rest;

But since that unplanned day long years ago,
That diminutive seed has genuinely grown.
A friendship, that time had frozen, has passed, 
And evolved into a kinship, for me, full blown;


Each time we plant any seed, and expect a harvest,
We unknowingly are expressing our faith in God.
Tom
