Fields of Praise by Bonnie Manion Poem

Fields of Praise

Cornstalks praise You
standing tall, reaching taller,
bristling green, tassels waving,
each kernel bound by silken threads
like Your sweet yoke.

Soybeans praise, too,
sun-dappled layered leaves
waffling, hiding pods of peas,
tiny globes set in threes,
evoking the Holy Trinity.
