What so ever you sow, you shall reap. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read.

Hi Teresa, I love the message you are sending out in your wonderful poem, and to compare a seedling to human life is just so spot on! three great stanzas to the glory of God, Great!

He certainly is, regardless of geographical, or religious borders. I love your poem, that through you, shows how very simple, how natural it is to promote love, and Gods eternalness, blessings...Judy

Thank you Judy for the lovely gift of the six stars:)
Comment from Pyrrho
I suppose you know Ambrose Bierce's definition of blank verse? Look it up.
Your last verse is a bit illogical: metaphorical waves may spread words across oceans, or to lands, but not across lands

The seed dies to live
Descends that it may ascend
and stand strong
To face whatever comes its way
Enjoyed your thoughts in this one, Buck

Comment from GracieAnn
Teresa, the varied meter is fine and it should never fully dictate the way a poem should read. We can get too caught up in the mechanics and miss the message. You have conveyed much biblical truth in this write. :0 GracieAnn

Comment from Maureen's Pen
Dear Teresa - A great blank verse as I read it aloud. No clue on meter, but I still got a lot out of this work. Great spiritual, and well crafted poem that has me pondering your message. I enjoyed it a great deal.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Msmasero
This am sure is a reflection of our life and the relationship we have with our creator.
It's a promise from God to us.
You are ccommunicating through the seed of life that you are a child of God with faith.
I like it.

Comment from Louise Michelle
Hi Teresa,
Wow - I just love comparing a human to a plant. I like thinking of myself as a seed and particularly enjoyed the line: so I can reach for Heaven up above
That really provoked a strong image of a person on bended knee, arms up and hands extended.
Hugs,
Lou

How lovely your blank verse poem is, Teresa. The form still scares the dickens out of me. Your enjambment makes the read smooth, and I love your message.

Thanks Karyn. Since I rarely write anything other than free verse I thought I should keep up my meter skills that I learned in class - lol.
