The Thing About Seeds

By a 12 year old student of mine. I am just the vehicle.
The Thing About Seeds

So the thing about seeds
is that they will always grow
And the thing about chains
is that they can contain you

They can leave scars on your wrists
And scars on your mind
As though escaping and hoping was all a distant memory

The thing about leaves is that they make music in the wind
And the thing about scars
is that they will heal
And the thing about today
is that there is always tomorrow
