Let us all fall in love & love one another
let us all garden one small; precious flower
let us all unearth a basic human need
let us all plant one, special mustard seed.
Although it is less than other seeds on earth
all evolved to know and trust its true worth
didn't one such special mustard seed stand tall?
Grow into a huge tree where the birds enthrall.
Singing to us captivating even to those cruel
didn't we all learn to love, childlike instinctual
didn't we all know the white dove was a symbol?
Ah, our Lord was born in a stable small as a thimble?
Let us all fall in love & love one another
let us all garden one small, precious flower
let us all fall in love & love one another
let us all garden one small, precious flower
let us all unearth a basic human need
let us all plant one, special mustard seed
let us all give up this capitalist greed
let us all plant a new moneyless seed.

I wish indeed that seed would grow and sprout, our world would be a better place of that I've no doubt.

It’s a bit of a fantasy poem Celticman, but I’m glad you appreciate the context. Money is the root of all evil and the divide between the have and have nots is certainly getting wider. Thank you !

Just like the seed, everything stems from human care and nuturing. Beautifully written and as always wise words.
