Coconut Envy

A hole is dug. Rain pours from Ground to sky. The seed of death is planted. An oak sprouts, Fantastic and fanciful, It lasts 100 years. A single seed is left behind. A hole is dug. Rain pours from Heart to ground. The seed of hope is planted. An elm sprouts, Beautiful and bright, It last a day. A mustard seed is left behind. A hole is dug. Rain pours from Soul to mind. The seed of faith is planted. A great redwood sprouts, The king of trees, Massive and magnificent, It last forever. An amazing seed drops from the highest branch. A hole is dug. Rain pours from Ground to ground. The seed of life is planted. A tree sprouts, Lavish and lovely. 2 coconuts fall.
