The Human Seed

I saw a seed on the way side I picked it up and put it in my pocket I took it home to my heavenly garden Planted it among the roses I watered it day and night And waited for the first sapling to rise Thought it would grow into a tree And give shade to the birds and the little bee But alas no sprouting came, The seed was eaten within With worms and filth and rotten to the core I cried and cried to my Father above Son I will give you a new seed My love I will spill out of the heavens Onto the earth below Drenching each and every seed with heavenly dew and words Till each seed is renewed from within and a new sprouting is seen.
