Harvest Season

I once planted myself in rocky terrain

Where it didn’t matter how many seeds

I scattered on the ground because the

Rocks didn’t let me flourish and grow.



I once planted myself in unstable land

Where weeds soon spurted next to me.

They suffocated me and crowded me out;

I wasn't allowed to reap what I sowed.



I once planted myself in thorny ground

Where I was punctured and pricked,

And the thorns wouldn’t permit me to

Cultivate despite my desire to survive.  



I then planted myself in fertile soil

Where my farmer tended me with care

And I could reap all of His blessings,

And here I was finally able to thrive.
