like a seed in the ground – v7

Each one of them growing, hidden

their life emerging, revealed,

like a seed in the ground

a kernel hidden,

waiting to burst forth

to expand, to grow

to be gathered in its season

a wonder to behold

A harvest, a jewel, precious,

a bit of wheat, a harvest

there is joy, awakening,

their life revealed,

coming to the surface

rising on the breeze

held in a loving hand

a wonder to behold
