Fell By The Wayside

Mathew said behold

A sower went out to sow

Some seeds fell down

By the wayside

Where birds came down

To ravage them

Some seeds fell

By the wayside

Where the weeds grew up

Enough to choke them

Tiny seeds

Try to remember

You are destined

For the living

The lost seeds

Rolled along the wayside

fell into cracks

found a crevice

Felt they belonged there but

were trampled underfoot

They found comfort under the pressure

Some formed into diamonds

Beautiful but hard

Remained stuck there

Tiny seeds

Try to remember

You are destined

For the living

Tiny seeds, even though

You fell on a hard path

He still looks for you

His light shines through

His water reaches you still

Through every desolation

The sower

Never told them

It only takes a tiny seed

Implanted under the trotter's sole

To take root and start to grow

The sower

Never told them

There will be birds

Ravenous

But when you are

Devoured

Take hold of their wings

And soar

Tiny seeds

Try to remember

You are destined
