“And he told them many things in parables,
saying: ‘Listen! A sower went out to sow.’” Matthew 13:3
perhaps
if we removed the concrete
off the hardened paths
leading to our hearts,
your love might grow.
if we took the boulders
out of the eyes
of the hate-filled,
your grace might grow.
if we filed down
the thorns sticking
out of all the cruel,
your compassion might grow.
perhaps
if we were better
preparers of lives,
we wouldn’t expect you
to do all the work
