Take a seed, any seed
If you didn’t know what it was
you would write it off as a speck of dust
blowing in the wind.
Yet,
the wind
the rain
the earth and sky
all together working
with the DNA
encased in the hard shell
and the far-reaching possibilities
of that seed are immense
as the stars in sky
and the sand
on the shore.
Each of us
a seed
blowing on the wind
falling then planted
growing.
The potential for good
is great
for making a difference
on the earth
among all people
to be peacemakers
lovers of God and man.
It’s all there from the beginning
locked away and waiting
to be released
in the right time.
Seed of David, Seed of God
Son of Man, Son of God
bringing peace on earth
We hear
heaven is coming
and we will see the King.
Even so
come.

Thanks for the reminder of potential, lovely start to advent. Love to you J.
So nice to hear from you Debbie! I’m glad you enjoyed my advent poem. 🙂
You do such beautiful word-shaping
I now live in a war-mongering little community – the Christmas program will contain elements which some folks will want me fired for . . . oh well.
We miss you guys! Mary & Solomon
Thanks Mary. I wish I could see/hear the musical. Blessed are the peace-makers. Love to you and Solomon.
