The Harvest
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

What is it that you’re seeking

As you live from day to day

What is the harvest that you live for

As you move along your way

 

So many call themselves survivors

As if that’s what they’re born to be

Why would you ever choose survival

As your life’s identity

 

So many speak of what they want

And also what they think they need

Things they say will make them happy

To have it all could be their creed

 

So many say they have bold dreams

That they truly seek to have made real

But are these just romantic notions

Subject to moods and how they feel

 

So many strive and strive for status

As if that could provide validity

Driven to be adored by others

With power and celebrity

 

So many base their sense of worth

On what they have and what they do

Could they ever have and do enough

If their worth is always in their view

 

Why live your life to serve your ego

Consumed in what you want and need

Why live your life to prove your value

Why choose a harvest based on greed

 

There is a truth that is eternal

That you must reap that which you sow

There is a life you’re born to live

Of blessings beyond what you can know

  

There is a harvest oh so wonderful

The harvest of what you’re born to be

Fulfillment of purpose and potential

The harvest of your own destiny

 

There is a harvest so miraculous

Inspiration its cherished currency

The gift of who you are fulfilled

A blessing to all humanity

 

There is a harvest oh so beautiful

Cultivated by divinity

The blessed gift of life itself

Unleashed with all its majesty

 

There is a harvest oh so bountiful

Even grace for those who fall

Abundance beyond measure

Available to one and all

 

All can reap the blessed harvest

The fruits of what they’re born to be

There is no such thing as failure

When harvesting inspired destiny
