Living Boldly
Cast your bread upon the water,
You will find after many days;
Just as with your son or daughter,
They will return after one strays.
Split what you have in seven parts,
Or maybe as many as eight;
For what unknown disaster charts;
And you would never compensate.
For if the clouds are full of rain,
They will pour down upon the earth;
And all the flooding you obtain,
Just might destroy all of your worth.
Like the breath of life that enters,
Into the limbs of a child;
Parents must rear and be mentors,
So the boy does not run wild.
You also do not understand,
How God made everything works;
Just like every grain of sand,
Or the reason the vulture lurks.
So plant a seed into the ground,
Like a mother inside her womb;
Soon it will be growing abound,
As sprouting a new life will zoom.
