    GARDEN OF HOPE

    I plant my bad seeds of hope
    In a garden of rich soil,
    Praying for a miracle to occur.
    The rain pours down in sheets,
    Burying the seeds in mud,
    Pushing them deeper into the ground.
    Soon the sun comes out and hardens the mud like clay.
    The soil is rich no longer.
    The seeds lie in the ground for years,
    Searching for a way to sprout.
    Yet no rain comes to bring their salvation.
    And thus lies my garden,
    My garden of hope.

    Excellent write I really enjoyed it. But I do believe in hope for you and me. For there is no seed that the Lord can not reach how ever deep and bring forth fruit.

    Yes! hope they don't come back up again... Good stuff...

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
