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
