Seeds

What makes some seeds sprout and others not?

I've watered and watered...

Made sure there's sunlight...

Tended and pruned my best....

But "one" has not sprouted.

I rejoice in those that have...

And yet I mourn the "one"...

Will it ever break through?

Will it ever thrive and grow...

To be all it was meant to be?

One seed....one life....

That "one" means everything to me....

The seed is there but I've seen nothing.

Again, I cry out to the Lord....

I planted the seed Lord....I know it's there...

Why God, why does it refuse to sprout?

I will continue tending, doing my part...

And I shall wait patiently in Christ....

For that "one" to break free from the dirt...

Oh God...please God...please....

That "one" means the world to me.
