We Arent Seeds Forever

We are first planted Planted into the ground As a seed we don’t know what to expect No one does We are just carefree Rolling around in dirt But then When days pass We are sprouts The new seeds Enjoy the dirt We wonder where those days went When WE were the ones in the dirt We realize We aren’t seeds forever Pretty soon we will be Those beautiful tulips, salmon...or lavender We have the choice To be whatever color we want to be But when our first storm hits When we’re struggling To be straight and perfect We will remember Being a seed When we are gasping for water Drying out Wilting away Shriveling up We will remember Being a seed We realize We are not seeds forever.
