LAYING IT BY IN 2020

Laying It BY In 2020
From a phrase from farmers of the past
Some will remember, my Grandpa would
Times of ploughing, to prepare the soil
Making those rows perfect for the seed
Ploughing, sowing, waiting and watching
Sounds like this year and eager to end
Ploughing through the many months
Starting early, the political debates
Then the endless pleas for my vote
My mute, channel changers got tired
Facebook also many wanting to rest
Suddenly the arrival of the pandemic
Ploughing again through many months
Reluctant to watch or read the paper
Those who are positive and those deceased
Anxiously awaiting the promise of a cure
The news is arriving and the seed sown
Is germinating with the promise, a vaccine
Now as the days of my farmer Grandpa
Laying it by for this lengthy unusual year
Ploughing, soil preparation, sowing the seed
Waiting and Watching patiently Praying always
Could this be a lesson from the one of old?
Ploughing, Sowing, Waiting, Watching Praying
Me thinks it is a good way to start, 2021.
Me thinks that my sweet Annalon, agrees.
Sow with a view to righteousness,
Reap in accordance with kindness,
Break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord
Until He comes to rain righteousness on you,
Hosea 10:12
Our Thoughts and Blessings from Annalon & Billy
