Seeds by Sara Burn Edwards

SEEDS

Seeds can be scattered

Seeds can be sown

Seeds can be saved and retained.

Seeds sown in the ground

May flourish and grow

Or scattered and wasted away

How do we know where our seeds will fall?

Seeds planted with love can bring joy and delight

With indifference, heartache, and fear.

So careful of your seeds, my friends

Be careful where they fall

They may come back and choke you

When grown straggly and tall.

The knowing look, the secret smile,

The sly insinuation

A seed of doubt dropped in an ear

Can kill reconciliation.
