Seeds of Change
We tend to wish away
What we are afraid to say
Hoping things improve
Magically falling into a groove
Wouldn't it be awfully nice
If we didn't have to pay the price
Only reaping the gains
Easily breaking free of chains
Although it is simple sounding
Usually leads to feeling confounding
Relentlessly racking our brains
Trying to pump positivity into our veins
There is a roadmap to get there
Need to push aside your biggest fear
Realize you can thrive in any situation
Replace doubt with determination
Starting to turn the corner
Welcome what used to be a foreigner
As roots of hope take hold
Optimism now entering the fold
Take your time to water the seeds
Graciously tending to your needs
Sprouts spring up if lead with your heart
That's when your life can really start
