Four Little Seeds

I’m Little Seed One.
I just got sowed.
I landed in the middle
Of this old dirt road.
The soil is hard
And all packed down.
I’m havin’ some trouble
Puttin’ roots in the ground.
But when I do,
Just watch me sprout.
My stems and leaves 
Will all pop out!
And I’ll grow tall
And straight as an arrow.
Oh, no! Look out!
Here comes a sparrow!


PECK!
 
I’m Little Seed Two.
I’m still a squirt,
‘Cuz I got tossed 
On this rocky ol’ dirt.
I want to grow,
But my roots can’t go
Deeper than a quarter 
Of an inch or so.
The sun’s gettin’ hotter, 
I need a drink.
I can’t reach water
So I’m startin’ to shrink.
My leaves are brown,
My roots are dry.
I feel like I’m about to die.


SSSSSSS
 
I’m Little Seed Three
Over here in the thistles.
Just tryin’ to thrive
In their prickly bristles.
All these weeds
Are crowdin’ my space.
I wish they’d leave
And get out of my face.
How will I bloom,
If I can’t get 
Some good elbow room

And a chance to get wet? 
It’s g-getting hard
to t-take a breath.
I think these w-weeds are
Choking me to d-death . . .


GASP!
 
I once was known
As Little Seed Four.
But as you can see—
Not anymore!
My roots are deep.
My stalk is strong.
My leaves are green.
My stems are long.
The little patch of soil
That I found
Turned out to be good
And fertile ground.
I’m growing tall,
As I take root.
And come this fall,
I’ll bear some fruit!


HOORAY!

What kind of soil are you?

You can be like the good ground where Little Seed Four grew if you listen carefully to God's Word, think about it and put it into practice. Then God's Word, planted in your heart, will help you grow strong and give glory to God!
