A Life Awoke

The Fruitful Life

Sow seed on paths and we'll go broke
The birds will come as if they woke
To eat those seeds until they choke
Hard hearts a superficial joke

Sow seed on rocky ground we spoke

But in the sun those plants soon croak

A shallow life cannot evoke
Enduring and persistent folk

Fruit, More Fruit, Much Fruit

Sow seed among the thorns we spoke
But those poor plants began to choke
Like wealth and worry they invoke
Deception sucking life from folk

Good ground we simply can't revoke
Plant seeds in soil give them a soak
The word sinks deep we'll be no joke
We'll bear much fruit — a life awoke
