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

Katelin: So well written, many more stories may "sprout" from such a write. Thank you for sharing your work, your insight into roses and life. oldbuck
