Seeded

Sower went
Sowed seed
Some fell
On paths
Trampled underfoot
Birds devoured
Disappeared
Some fell
Rocky terrain
Grew quick
Withered away
Devoid
Some fell
Among thorns
Grew up
Choked out
Destroyed
Some fell
Good soil
Abundant growth
Hundred Fold

Soul soil
Softened heart
Word seed
Planted deep
Yielded Crop
Hundredfold
Sower pleased
With soul
Hundredfold
