Two Bags of Seed

When I was born I came equipped With two million seeds Not warm enough Nor moist enough Or too many weeds The sun not out The soil not rich Or nothing that one needs I base my stance On abortion rights On the reality of seeds

Sometimes when people have a near-death experience they meet a brother or sister who died in infancy or was aborted. When they are revived they relate this to their parents with much emotion. Now that is something to ponder. 7 ; )

Indeed. Intriguing. I know I have a half sister out there somewhere, who was put up for adoption; he sowed a few oats. Thank you for the visit & Happy Spring! :) mo
