A Seed

A seed falls off a tree and is planted

to grow into a tree one day itself

but for now it falls terrifingly to the ground

it lands and wonders about the brave new world

Where is it, where will it now go. will life be kind...

So the wind sweeps over the seed and it is left at it's mercy

taking away from the parent tree to live without it

It floats off and lands in a river to be washed away

It greets the wind and water never knowing what they are

and thinking they were rude for not answering back

But then it is washed on the groud, and dirt splased over it

The seed becomes warm under the soils embrace

and a small green root slowly comes out and it rejoices

for it has grown it's first limb on it's own

This seed will one day grow into a giant tree

It will be a proud large standing tree

But for now it's just a seed

and It misses it's mommy, and it's a scared seed

The seed wonders when it will see it's mom again

unaware the day would never come

So it continues to grow in life, and one day

out of the blue it grows a seed, and it loves the seed

But the seed falls... and leaves... and the tree weeps

for it remembers when it was a seed and now

Finally for the first time, realizes that

His mommy... when he dropped... weeped too
