Saturday - Seeds
Resurrection is part of a seed's life cycle Growing to the song of special tending Nature, nurture, yes, we adapt to circumstance Knowing that what is born of unseen seeds Is not our own but God's, for what can we claim When the cause was tangential to another era Bygone, barely remembered, yet taking root Sustained in soil we cannot admit - lest By some completed accident we see ourselves Fully as we were made to be in that celestial mirror And upon seeing, change, accepting not society Nor our pricey educational mores but truth And upon waking step beyond into life *I am very sorry that SSJE isn't actually doing the word of the day now because of their focus on the rule of life for Lent. However, I am still taking the word of the day for my poetry from their daily devotion.
