Cast Not a Stone {By Kay Hoffman}

Cast not the first stone, my friend,

When someone goes astray;

When a brother slips and falls,

Lift him up, instead and pray.

Pass not along the sordid news

Of someone’s sin displayed;

Lift him up and help him stand

Because for him you’ve prayed.

The Seed

I planted a seed of faith,
I molded it up with hope,
I showered it with love,
Then waited for it to grow,
It grew for a while,
But then it got scorched up by the sun,
I watered it with my tears,
Refusing to let it die,
I held on to my faith’,
I continued to hope,
It struggled for awhile,
Then slowly began to grow,
And then one morning,
I looked outside my bedroom window,
To find that it had bloomed,
And I felt a burst of joy,
As my eyes behold,
The most beautiful of flowers,
That I had ever seen.
