Steadfast in Faith

The journey of planting
of the growing garden
a wonderful metaphor, an image
for the sharing of love
the message of hope
the fulfillment, the promise
living in the Christ

Patiently sowing
the seeds of holy truth
watering with the word
pruning in season
weeding, adding nutrients
heat from God’s light
patiently knowing
growth and harvest
in God’s time alone
