('The church of God a kingdom is')
Mark 4 v.26-29
******************
Jesus said, Kingdom of God is
As if a man, see this
Should cast the seed into the ground
Hoping the yield abound
And then he sleeps, and rises night
And day, and to his sight
The seed should spring and grow up, though
How it does, he not know
For the earth fruit it does forth bring
Blade, then ear, then full thing
The full corn in the ear is seen
Now time for harvest keen
For when fruit ripens, it be time
In life's seasons and rhymes
To harvest it, food to provide
It not to us denied

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. metre. The idea is that the Kingdom of God grows as seeds grow, without the need to be 'inspecting' or checking it constantly. Unless you dahs out into your garden every 5 minutes to see if your plants are growing?!

Like anything in life and nature
If you tend to it, it will grow strong
If you tend to it, it will grow for long
But first you need to plant the seed
Just as you do with your words
Thanks M.
