*    *    *

Ears of corn - a song of praise


*    *    *

Golden kernels shine and smile

in even rows they beguile

an art collector’s shrewd eyes,

marveling in awe he sighs.


In all its valued humbleness

an ear of corn is priceless

because of its perfection

due to divine selection.


By such beauty deeply stirred

I see a wonderful world

revealing itself to me

as a precious gift for free.


Such vast abundance divine

is doubtlessly a true sign

of Universe’s grand plan

to shower blessings on men.


Let’s all grow in awareness

It’s a question of fairness.

God’s gifts are for all you see

May we share more you and me.


Come, it is never too late

It’s time now to celebrate.

Cornfields reflect in our eyes

while songs of praise reach the skies.

I love it!  Have you ever heard of DeKalb corn?  I live in corn country, now, just north of DeKalb where Rebecca lived.  They test all sorts of corn here.  Monsanto also has a place here.  They make fabrics from corn.  There's a big corn festival every year in DeKalb, too.

  God bless,
    Rae

Thank you dear Rae for your kind comment. I think it must be fantastic during the festival. I don't know the different names, but I am soooo fascinated by their beauty!

God bless you too, dear Rae!

Love and hugs.

Loved your "Corney" poem. I used to live in Indiana with corn fields all around me. Never thought to write about corn!  What a unique poem!
