"EXCEPT A GRAIN OF WHEAT..." By Peter Salama Tisan
"EXCEPT A GRAIN OF WHEAT..." By Peter Salama Tisan He opened His palm again, And looked at His Precious grain, His grain of wheat. This grain He loves so much, And will not trade it for anything. But He knew that the real life of this grain,lies in it being a seed, And that the beginning of its destiny is being in the earth. Considering the deadly experiences His grain would go through in the earth, He is resentful. But certainly, there would be the emergence of a new life. Also the bountiful harvest of more precious grains of wheat. So He opens the earth, And plants the seed - His grain of wheat. He left. So the seed coat begins to rip off The seed gradually dies, And finally it gave up the ghost. But the EMBRYO, the beginning of a new life, never dies. This new sprout goes down to earth first, It fights until it is rooted and established in the earth.
