A tree, not bearing fruit
A landowner impatient,
ready to pass judgment,
A gardener, ready to work,
asking for more time,
to nurture and feed
the fruitless tree
Who are the players,
the actors in the parable
the tree, the landowner,
and the gardener?
We aren’t told,
but it is a very telling story
for the lessons it can teach
about so many things
