The Seedling

Bloom ye flower
Oh seed planted by my gene
Spread forth thy petals
Embracing the rays of aspiration and hope
The triumphs and failures
That may buffet against thee
Only nourish the soil
Which shall strengthen thy foundation
Feeding thy soul
Thereby magnifying thy beauty
Thy love will inhale

I pray thou will not fade nor wilt
Remember, oh gentle flower
The fragrance ye possess
Will be only enhanced
Enticing thy bee
Spreading forth the roots
Of love
 That are entwined within thee forever
