Our Seeds

The seed that needs imagination
and planted with anticipation
can root itself in fertile ground
but will nourish on what-ever's found..
From acid-like precipitation
to lack of hope and dedication
Feeding indiscriminately
to become the root that is the tree..
left to grow in all directions
without an eye of indiscretion
can foster an unwanted weed
that kills off the remaining seeds..
so they cannot root in the soil
meant to bear the truly loyal
tainting everything around it
and the living roots that bound it..
so raise your child with admiration
instilling them with inspiration
in time you all will truly see
just what the seed was meant to be..
