The Birth of a Flower

A tiny seed that is planted And cared for every day With Water and with sunshine Will grow and find it’s way The roots will start to take a hold In the rich soil that it lays Then the sun will do it’s magic And the seed will break away A fragile little stem will Emerge for within this tiny seed And start it’s journey through The earth so one day it will be freed A struggle it will have As it pushes through the earth As the weather and the insects Try to stop it from it’s birth But a special little seed That is cared for every day Will grow strong and sturdy And eventually find it’s way And one day you will see this stem As it pushes through the earth And know that you have helped It through the struggle of it’s birth. But now the life has just begun As you are needed more than ever To teach this little seed How to be the best forever Your patience and your caring Your tender touch you see Will help this little flower Be the best that it can be. Your love, teaching and guidance Will be what this seed needs To grow strong and sturdy Into a beautiful flower for all the world to see So when you decide to plant a seed Take thought with what you do A tiny little seed can only Thrive with you.
