My Lil’ Seed
I plant a seed into the ground,
Beneath a lovely lil’ dirt mound—
The first step I take
For a life to make—
And wait for the rain to come ‘round.
For signs of life, I watch my seed,
Ready to pull any surrounding weeds.
The sun shines bright—
A real dazzling light—
And pouring rain is all we need.
The time moves slowly through the year,
And my seed’s life is still unclear.
I hope it grows—
I use my hose!
I care for it through blood and tears.
Later, I smile at the sight of rain;
Oh, look at all the water you’ll gain!
A leaf is green,
The bud is seen,
And a new life, my seed contains.
No longer is my seed a child,
But a pretty picture oh-so mild.
My work paid off;
A seed, I scoff.
A beautiful flower it is, I smile.
After much hardship and determination,
My lil’ seed went through graduation.
I feel so proud,
I make a vow
To plant and grow a new creation.
I planted the seed into the ground,
Beneath a lovely lil’ dirt mound.
After many’a day
The seed, in May,
Grew into first of roses abound.
