SEEDS



SEEDS

Did you ever wonder about seeds?
the magical pebble of life,
the small form of great things to come,
that battle all different kinds of strife.

Don't you think we're all seeds?
Wizards in the hopeful state,
the form of better things to come,
who live to improve and make things great.

Aren't all seeds different?
some are large and rather flat,
while others remain small and round,
much like people, in their own habitat.

Yes, I think Seeds are like people.
who begin with great hope,
to battle what plagues them,
and learn how to cope.

A seed, much like people,
are put in a special space,
where dirt and manure
become your growing place.

So despite the bad view,
the darkness, the pain,
you begin to live life
and try not to complain.

There are many a time,
when you feel so confined,
that you want to yell out,
"This is so asinine!"

But you keep yourself in check,
and you keep yourself in line,
for you know the day is coming
when it's your time to shine.

So you battle your environment,
despite the darkness & the tears,
for you know your roots will grow
if your healthy & face your fears.

As you grow in shape,
and a seed no longer,
you experience a feeling
that seems so much stronger.

You own soul reaches the surface,
and stretches toward the light,
wanting to feel the true warmth
and bask in its delight.

Your life feels such greatness,
as you bloom with great pride,
and you show off your colors,
your grace, which you no longer hide.

You feel such elation,
and pure joy, with no despair,
for the trip through the dirt
was nothing short of a nightmare.

It is then that you look back,
and see what was there,
the dirt, the manure,
and the lack of good air.

And yet from that dark place,
the wet ground and bad space,
you developed your goals
and took on God's Grace.

And as one of his seedlings,
you dealt with life's sins,
and grew up despite it
to the devil's chagrin.

So now that your blooming,
and looking all around,
remember life's what you make it,
even if you start out in the ground.

You're a seed for once,
and a bulb forever more,
just gaining more strength
from life's sorted manure.

So you have the power
to draw from the soil,
the goodness you need
without having turmoil.

Pick good friends,
surround yourself with fun,
and don't let negativity
block out your sun.

If you make good choices,
you'll continue to bloom,
and others around you
will give you some room.

We all have the fears
that life tends to bring,
but you're no longer a seed,
your the Queen or the King.

So make a special rule
that you grant just to you,
that you'll make your life fuller
and really enjoy the view.

You worked hard as a seed
to grow up and grow right,
so be happy and healthy
and do as you might.

As for your own flower bed,
make the wisest of choices,
and pick the right flowers
that give you your voices!

If you end up with weeds,
You will choke up in time,
and find that your independence
has fargone its prime.

So remember your past,
and the lessons you learned,
and your future will be bright
with each bloom and each turn.

So this blog is about over,
I think I must end,
and hope that you know,
you are all my good friends.

I am glad we are seeds,
which I think you'll agree,
and we give each other water,
which is the most important key.

So when we are down,
droopy and unalive,
it is our friends who water us
and help us to survive.

So go my fellow seedlings,
and spread your roots with great pride,
but remember that your impact
can reach a level that's world wide.

So I end this blog
as I once began,
do you ever wonder about seeds
and where it all began?
