A worthy seed from God that wants a start
Takes root and grows, entwining in and under
And captures ev’n the very cautious heart.
The little thought now grows and gains momentum
As buds appear along the reaching vine.
Dream blossoms soon burst forth in wondrous beauty
And visions of what might be, down the line.
In awe, the spirit reaches forth, caressing,
Cherishing the promise, truly charmed.
But wisdom must consider well the journey,
Bestowing strength to make the trek unharmed.
A dream come to fruition won’t just happen.
That “little thought” requires honest work.
Then when there comes an open door to walk through
The captured heart can boldly march, not lurk.
Perhaps there’ll be a timely situation
An occasion rarely offered, scarcely seen,
That could yield the precious fruit so dearly hoped for,
Reveal the blessing ready to be gleaned.
A fleeting chance to make a contribution,
A means to make a difference starting now,
An opportunity for worlds to open,
A time for hope to happen… soon… somehow.
The choice to take advantage of this window
Can hardly be delayed or pondered long.
Soon time moves on despite all hesitation
And with it, this occasion-now that’s wrong.
God-given thoughts and goals and sincere longings
Have a purpose, that is very clear.
Forgotten, set aside, His plan is hindered
But faithful souls fulfill the charge, so dear.
God honors lowly humans by allowing
A small part in His own divine design.
Step up, accept your portion, meet the challenge.
Don’t miss the chance to see His glory shine.

The end is wonderful as well.
