Bag of Seeds

By Hortense Francis

What kind of seeds did you sow in the past?

You thought you would win but you finished last

You partied and gambled all night long

And then decided you would follow the throng.

You sat on the sidewalk digging your palms

Stretching out your hands and begging alms

Days went by and you stood there idle

Over your tongue you didn’t even put a bridle.

You knew your life was going downhill

Because you sow seeds against God’s will

Your seeds fell among stony ground and withered

Life on a whole suddenly became a blizzard.

A good friend decided to help and gave you a Bible

Things began to turn around and you didn’t have any rival

You began to sow good seeds and reap your blessings daily

Things suddenly became brighter and started getting gaily.
