Just A Single Grain

Just a single grain
Too small to in the pot have an impact
So in the ground I scratched a hole
Place and covered it and then about it forgot
But the earth was fertile, the rains fell and the sun was hot
And it so happened I had chosen a good spot
The following year I passed that way again
To my surprise there ready to reap was a super abundant crop
Deciding to experiment I reaped and planted again the whole lot
This time I ploughed the ground removing thorns and rocks
The earth was fertile but still I added more
Destroying every plant except those I wanted to grow
And guarded against all that would the tender leaves destroy
Month by month I marveled as the plants before my eyes grew
There was another super crop in the making I knew
Then came the time for me to reap again
Eat it all I could not so I gave to my friends
But this the harvest did not dent
Replant it all I could not so the I had to sell
A seed you may not have but it may be a thought in your head
Act upon it and do not let it go to waste
Who can tell with what reward to you one day it might return

About this poem:
I was refecting on a plant outside my window and it occurred that a single thought could produce similar results.
