We he Mustard Seeds(Trees)

We the mustard seeds

Start out the smallest of seedlings

So that we may each grow

In different ways, at different paces

In the Orchard called “God’s Kingdom”.

 

We the mustard seeds

Are designed to grow wild

While having a firm connection

To Mother Earth.

 

We the mustard trees

Were created to grow strong

Without needing a lot of

Maintenance to strengthen

Our roots as we branch out

Toward the sky.

 

We the mustard trees

Were given the gift of being able

To freshen up the breath of life

And make the lives of others

That much sweeter.

 

We the mustard trees

Are strongest when we

Let the spirit of The One

Be the hands that bind us as one

As our colors connect together

To brighten up God’s Kingdom.

Such a lifting poem of the life that rises in God's field. Yes, the smallest of seeds comes to fill so much space, to bring shade and life. How we must learn that much can come forth from the small, seemingly insignificant places.

Oh how true that is Craig... thank you for the feedback.

I love this poem- so Inspiring, uplifting and so spirit-filled Dale! Jesus’ beloved parable of the mustard seed... Every verse is a much-needed heartfelt affirmation of true faith. Eloquent with lovely flow, metaphor and imagery. Your last verse and lines- “Let the spirit of the One..Be the hands that bind us as one.”- lift my heart and fill my soul. Great write and Amen to it. (P.S. “the” needs a “t” in your beautiful title.)

So glad you really liked my poem. It was inspiredby a sermon at Church a couple weeks ago.

Your final stanza Dale (yes I've just discovered your name) has a really strong message contained in its lines. For me, this piece of poetry is spiritual. Those mustard seeds are us. Lovely work.
