From radicle to root,
From plumule to sprout,
Using the protein in the cotyledons,
The tiny seed sprouts out!

God's invested in its future.
He has designs for this wee little mite.
In the future this speck will change.
It shall grow to its fullness in height.

Oh the parables these small forms of life teach!
Oh the symbolism in seeds!
For you see the thoughts we do daily encounter,
Spring within us a harvest of deeds!

For our thoughts lead to actions,
And to habits our actions do lead,
Our habits influence our character,
Then our destiny, the harvest of our seed.

So be careful of the seed that you sow,
The things you write, see, speak, and hear
What kind of garden are you planting?
A jungle of weeds or a garden to revere?
