Seed of faith

Matthew 13:31, 32

VIRGINIA YOUNG TOWNSEND

Tiny seed of mustard plant,
Who would have thought
You would have caught
The Master's eye,
To give a lesson to all mankind?

When sown, you spread your branches wide
Where fowl or coney may abide
Under the shadow you provide.

Like you, our mustard seed of faith,
Though beginning small, must grow;
Sown in Mind, its branches spread and flourish.
Each tender thought to humbly feed and nourish
Not only self but all mankind.
