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
