One Seed

One Seed

One simple breeze

flutters through the trees,

whispering of hope and excitement!

One simple seed,

perhaps will sprout into green,

but for now is nurtured and watered.

One simple day

a sprout pops up to say "Hey!"

and decides to weather the forecast.

One simple sprout 

grows up through clumsiness and doubt,

and learns by trial and error.

And one little sprout

had faith through the doubt,

and came up through the shadows to sunlight.

And one simple flower

shines brightly with power,

and kindness to share by the hour.

One Loving Father

in Heaven loves flowers,

but starts out with a seed.

Through nurture and love,

and help from above,

sprouts bloom into blossoming beauty.

And so it is with us,

when we are lost or distressed,

have faith through the doubt and succeed!

For one little seed

had thoughts of despair,

but with God's love,

Grew into a blossoming beauty!
