The Seed

A speck of seed
Planted on the ground
Hoping to sprout in its definite time
Turning into something;

Rain and sun came;
Night and day passed;
Day after day.

Time and hard work
Patience and hope
Determination and expectation.

At last, it began sprouting this tiny seed
Accomplished; undertaken
Became into something 
And joined the unit of nature.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
