Life is like Farming

 Life is like farming,

We sow what we reap.

Whatever things we plant,

Is what we will always get to keep.

Ugly seeds produce ugly fruits,

For there’s a cycle of consequence.

So no matter what we farm,

There can never be any pretence.

We need to be patient for our harvest,

Our soil we must prepare.

We need to sow each seed right,

With love and a watering prayer.

God will send His quenching rain,

At a special appointed time.

For He knows just what we need,

To help us tow the line.

A farmer’s job takes lots of work,

That‘s back-breaking and quite tiring.

There’s never a break for the weary,

Amongst all the shearing and ploughing.

Our faith is like a scarecrow,

We must place it in our field.

For it scares away every deadly sin,

And increases our farming yield.

We must plant only good seed,

And be sure that the soil is right.

For when the harvest is ready to reap,

We’ll be sure of a heavenly sight.
