Excerpt
The people stood along the beach
List'ning to what He said.
His story, call a "parable,"
Told how His word is spread.



Some seeds fell among the thorns
Where they just could not sprout.
Because the weeds grew thick and tall,
The new plants were choked out.



Now let your heart be like good soil
And open your ears too,
So when you hear the Word of God,
It roots and grows in you!
