Read Poem: SEED OF LOVE, by R. Olaf Erich

‘Neath a rainbow
I did sow a seed of love.
I pray it grows.
Whether the soil be fertile
only time knows.

Please, Lord, help to protect
my gentle seedling
help me to nourish
without too much water;
help me keep clear
the weeds known to choke love,
hatred, greed, selfish uncaring acts,
lies, pettiness, and unfaithfulness.
Lord, please provide shelter
from the jealous winds,
provide warming light
to feed not scorch.
And at night
a cool moon-drenched
seductive breeze.

May this love grow
with deep, strong roots
and grace the world
with a flowering smile,
provide strength and shelter
for the weary and the weak.

Oh Lord,
‘neath your rainbow
I did sow a seed of love.
I pray it grows.
