End of the Row


When the row that you hoe

seems unending

And the sun's sweating down

on your head

Briars and blisters

just keep popping up

While you long for fresh blossoms instead


Take heart...

weather's constantly changing

Keep going...

tho' hoeing is slow

Never mind knowing reasons

It's just hoeing season

And God has assigned you this row


So pray for the strength to complete it

When the going gets too hot--

Go slow!

And one day you'll find

That the row is behind you

And new seedlings

Are starting to grow
