Sower

The middle-eastern farmer

casting seed in the manner

of his ancestors

hopes for a good return

that the family may be fed.,

the creditors paid,

and enough grain be laid aside

that a crop may be planted

next year.

A hundredfold!

Yes, indeed; that

would be most acceptable.

This messenger from God,

casting seed in the manner

of his own strange choosing,

hopes for a good return

that the hungry might be fed,

sinners be forgiven,

and new life burst forth

in a harvest of joy and

generosity.

A hundredfold!

How would we ever cope?
