Where Can Faith Hope Prayer Take Us? Poem by Terence George Craddock

Yes, miraculous works of hands are seeded by faith, but who can tell from whence the seeds blow.

Seeds that blow i n may come with wind. Look how structures of worship were raised above all other buildings in Strasberg.

By grandeur of heaven lifted thoughts was the tower raised and the bell placed.

Sad it is to me that commerce blows the wind that raises the sky aiming skeleton of girders.

O if only the sea of slaughter could be poured back into a harbor's bottle harbor and rounded by dream of beauty.

p3 If the 15th line 'miracles seeded in sustained tested belief enduring true faith? ' is read as The Parable of the Seeds, The Parable of the Sower, Matthew 13: 1-23, Mark 4: 1-20, and Luke 8: 5-15, then dimensions of true faith are explained.

p2This plays on the themes that the work of sowing seeds reaps future benefits and we reap what we sow. For readers that like unlocking lines, there are still a few themes left.

p1The answer to 'who can tell from whence the seeds blow' was a theme in this poem, the 6th and 7th lines build up to this; the 8th line is the answer 'there is wisdom in knowing God helps those who help themselves? '.

Someday the furthest stretching speculation will once and for all set a lovely lubberly foot... on the first step of a horizontal tower of peace.

Someday, when buccaneers by raging fumblings stumble on the returning way that disassembles speculation.
