I am a Sower

given words, the Spirit
seeds of the kingdom
to nurture, to share
wisdom of scripture

praying to be a vessel
an empty bowl of clay
I am a Sower
in God’s kingdom

words I have been gifted
to be shared, to be scattered
to be spread on the wind
not merely planted

some seeds planted
in neat, ordered rows
some scattered richly
to where I do not know

I am a Sower
only to be faithful
the words to do the work
the treasure in the seeds

our hope, God’s promise
in tending the garden
sowing the seeds
God to provide the growth
