Little Green Seed

Deeper the little green seed is pushed into the ground Watered every day and every day the little green seed grows Have never seen a seed be so profound Soon it will be a beautiful rose But first the little green seed needs to sprout Then grow into a little weed The weed will be so strong it would survive a drought This little green seed will go beyond and exceed The rose hiding in that little green seed will bloom It will be stepped on and damaged, but this will just make the little green seed stronger And the rose will be better than any perfume Next to the rose is another little green seed that will standby This little green seed will also succeed The point of this small tale is more than meets the eye That behind every beautiful, fragile rose there is a strong little green seed
