The Harvest

The harvest must

Carefully be stored

So rats cannot eat it

Birds cannot eye it

Burglars cannot run

Into it

And the poor grower

Who toiled with the

Earth, sweated with

The sun and got wet

In the rain, then watched

For hours and days

Till his sweat ripened

And looked lovely

Like a newly-wed girl

And smiled and bloomed.

He it is,

Waiting for God’s gift

To see him through

Happiness and sorrow,

Wiping tears of joy

And sighing in relief,

Even as the moon shone

On his balcony, the

Harvest showing it’s

Blessings

While lying in layers

Of love and affection!
