The world is like a field
depending on the seeds
planted by your hands
which the soil feeds.

Plant bitterness
you'll yield a crop of woe.
Plant ridicule
seperation will grow.

Plant ruination
nothing will survive
you'll have a field
where nothing is alive.

But if you toil long
plant care and love
then watch as mercy rains
down from above,
You'll reap a great harvest
friends who will care
springing forth from your labor
who will always be there.

a fine, fine piece weaving truth and wisdom into rhyme

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I think I read a parable about that in some book

I love it!

There is no limit to how many ways the truth is put forth ... and this is a basic truth

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
