The Endless Beauty In A Tiny Seed

 

A seed is planted…

Planted with hopes

Of a healthy grow;

Cared for and nurtured

While praying for healthy branches

With bright, colorful leaves

That nature can see…

Be proud of…

Enjoy the joy it was born to bring.

As the years roll on

It expands upward

And outward.

Through the broken branches

And leaves that dry up

It only gets stronger

Due to the strength that lies

In the heart of its roots

That simply started

As a tiny seed,

Planted by two people

Who had had faith enough

In its potential

To bring beauty

To the humanity of Earth.

Flowing like a gentle stream along a lush green meadow...fertile with thoughts to ponder. So beautiful and solemn. New life from such tiny seeds are the most amazing miracle, intelligently crafted with the power to create a loving being nurtured with tender care and the love which never fails. Gorgeous message...I needed to read your poem here today!

This is definitely one of your best, my friend, flowing perfectly, with a beautiful message.

Beautiful. My son and his wife just had a new baby girl. This writing fits right along with that. I worry so much for the futures of my granddaughters in this world, yet when I interact with them, all worry disappears. They are gems. Precious, like this poem. Thank you, Dale, for sharing your talent.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback. Congrats to your son and his wife.

I have to admit this is one of my favorites of yours, from seed to stem and bloom, love it.

"As a tiny seed,
Planted by two people..."

LOVE is the seed planted by two people. It is the most powerful seed which when properly sown and nurtured, it will grow into a beautiful "tree". What do you expect when you have sown LOVE? Love will bear fruit..of goodness. I believe it is the most powerful of all seeds in humanity. Without love for God and people, you can't give your trust, faith and respect. With love, you will never lose hope...because it is the thing that motivates you to believe and to dream that something good might happen someday.

This is an outstanding poem. Thank you for sharing this relevant piece to us. Keep shining!

Wow thank you for that kind review and sharing your profound insight

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

You're welcome. =)

This reads on two levels, of course. A seed planted in the ground, one day to be a tree. Or a seed of life to grow into a human being. Either way, very though provoking.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much, I will give you a hint, it is the second one.

This is a beautiful poem with a beautiful message. That we were born to do good and to be spread beauty around. There was much faith invested in us. Why do we often forget that?

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much for your input, you raise a good question… the simple answer is we are human and therefore given the gift of freewill.

[DIVYA]

You are most welcome Dale. We must remember to use that gift wisely and well.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Ain't that the truth.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

it takes strength and faith to grow a love this strong, one that will last.
not often enough that two people really do work this hard to sustain the seed....

nicely done allegory, Dale.
