From small beginnings.......

This little striped oval seed
Lifeless, insignificant
So what good can come from it?
I`m curious, so lets plant!

The seed of knowledge is sown
What will develop from here?
Love, time and patience will tell
Waiting for shoots to appear

Slowly this creation grows
Each passing day, life is seen
Struggling to see the light
This striped seed is sprouting green

Pushing away the barriers
Growing up towards the sun light
This new young life develops well
Revealing itself. what a sight!

From such a humble beginning
It now stands tall for all to see
Growing stronger as time goes by
Just like life, its on it`s journey.


This poem reflects the growth of a single seed and its new life, as well as the devopement of a young  life thats moving along its journey, ever striving to do well.  they are similar yet very different too.
