Seed of faith

planted in my soul

as I was welcomed to the world

Jesus gently placed it hoping

it would grow and bare fruit

Slowly the seed shows growth

Then there is a leaf  as

I experience the love of Jesus

The beginning of a life of thanks

There are times when the growth

stops or even some of the growth

is cut off because of my lack to see

or hear the wonderful song of Jesus

But then the forgiveness of Jesus

holds me fast and I find the courage

to  water this seed

which was given with such love

Jesus please help me take care of this

precious seed and maybe- just maybe

someday it might become a powerful

tree of faith and bare much fruit

Amen
