Parents fear
strangling thorns
that threaten to choke
the life out
of their tender shoots
They fear
world-worn paths
that seek to
consume
and corrupt
their seed
Yet they foolishly
cast their tender buds
upon the rocks
and pray for rapid growth
of unrooted sprouts
Slowness disappoints
Thank God
for slow growth
and deep roots
-Mark 4:3-8
