Pruning Time
Weeds exist all around us
They destroy plants and grass
And overtake all to stand as one
Selfishly how they have grown
Crops ruined and harvest decline unless a way is found
To remove this living pestilences off our furrowed ground
Or our livelihood will exist no more
For if not there will be no more crops to store
But wait aren’t weeds plants and also God-given
Than they must appear and exist for some reason
Maybe to teach us how to glean and gather and prune
Maybe it’s so that we learn to do this very soon
To prune the “weeds” that try and grow in us
To gather and remove so we may give ourselves to only Jesus
Amen
