Riddle of the Seed

The Sower

The riddle of the seed would be

A secret just for you and me

For calloused hearts it cannot be
We must have eyes willing to see

A farmer on a planting spree
Sowed seed indiscriminately
A path was his first place to be
But birds devoured that seed with glee

Seed on the rocks grew speedily
But with no root it died quickly
Some fell in thorns as it would be
But they soon choked as we'd foresee

Parable of the Sower

Some folks won't listen to the key

With calloused hearts they disagree

They just won't hear the mystery

They've closed their eyes and cannot see

Not everyone's an appointee

The secret is for you and me

Some seed fell on good soil you see

And multiplied exceedingly
