SHARING

Althea Brooks Hollenbeck

I made complaint to God:
"You gave me precious seed, but only sand
to plant them in! I'll share with friend
to whom you gave a richer land!"

But God gave firm command: "Go plant them all!"

I heeded—pulverized the sod,
and seeded—
I watered and I weeded.
Then came the fall
with golden harvest for my working hours.

And God said, "Reap!
and share your flowers!"
