A little boy and his seeds
There once was a sweet little boy
He never did care for a toy.
He was interested in birds, flowers, grass
his study of nature had him at the top of his class.
He had a grandma with whom he spent a lot of time.
They played games and made up things to rhyme.
His Grandma told him many stories about God and the beauty of heaven.
There was a large field where the lad played when He was around seven.
As he walked down a road, one day, he saw some sunflowers
and other herbs which had gone to seed.
Fascinated, he took a bag and filled it with the seeds before there came some showers.
He began to play, running in the weeds and field. He threw the seeds up into the wind
as he ran.
He enjoyed seeing them flow and the sun glowing on them. He had a plan.
Several weeks later, the lad went back to play in the same field.
But when he entered the field, he was so shocked he stood still.
The beauty that met his eyes astonished him as a great mystery.
Flowers were blooming everywhere his eyes could see.
He thought to himself, I have found heaven. I must have taken a wrong turn ;
I must go find Grandma and see if we can return.
He thought, I hate to leave for a minute, but I want my Grandma to share this with me.
Grandma, come with me. I have found something that will trill thee.
Together they ran back to the boy's heaven. He had planted the seeds that grew this heaven of flowers.
Together they will play till the rain brings some showers.
They will dwell forever in this wonderful heaven of love and glory.
You may not think so, but this is a true story.
