The Seedling
The seed is planted deep
Down within the moist soil
Slowly the seed cracks open
Allowing roots to form and uncoil
Reaching as far as it can
up towards our father sky
instinctively seeds do this,
But, I cannot tell you why
Growing, up through the earth
the new seedlings climb
Yearning for the Sunshine’s warmth
during the daytime
Finally making it through
Mother Earth’s crust
charging and feeding on
the suns rays, it must
to continue to grow until it
becomes a beautiful rose.
Here is some wisdom
that this little seedling knows
You have to keep going
even during times of strife
Theses are some lessons
You can use in your life
Things always seem the darkest
Just before the dawn
Creating the roots that
Your life can build upon
You can’t ever give up
No matter what your goal
such valuable lessons to aid
in the growth of your soul.
