A seed is sown, begins life impromptu, with nurture from our rich and fertile Earth. It sprouts with life to make a grand debut; pursues a plan for fullness, height, and girth. A sapling soon, unhindered at the start, limbs stretching up and out with room to spare, to soon become a complex work of art enmeshed and blended with the others there. From seed to sapling, to a full-bloomed tree, in spite of brush and weeds, it will expand and push ahead to full maturity; from seed to tree, progression makes a stand. The wonder of all life's primeval drive; create and grow, expand, fulfill, survive.

Sandra, this is outstanding. Glad to see this poem among the contest winners; I missed it the first time around. And the last line is a lovely motto.
