Sprouting In Life's Plantation

SPROUTING IN LIFE'S PLANTATION In this garden where only the strong survive, As seeds, some travail while others thrive. Planted with care by The Gardener here & there, Scattered across the earth life gives it share. The rain will fall, the sun will smite But a seed must work with all his might, Use your "widow's mite" to earn a lion's share And be the judge if, to you, life isn't fair. But I will sprout and grow up tall despite summer & winter, spring or fall. Rain comes with coolness but sways to & fro, Sun strikes as a nutrient but makes me glow, even though hard times come with dirty water, it doesn't stop this plant from growing in winter. I won't let negative words stop my progress, or retrogress, I won't live my life to impress. I will continue to grow until fulfilment in death says no more room for my labour of strength.
