Seeds
There are tiny treasures
hidden in plain sight,
tucked inside all plants
all waiting for the light.
Some treasures are eaten,
some are carried far and wide,
but all these tiny treasures
have a seed snug inside,
and if the seed is lucky,
if it gets some water and sun,
then the seed will start to grow,
I wonder what it will become?
hidden in plain sight,
tucked inside all plants
all waiting for the light.
Some treasures are eaten,
some are carried far and wide,
but all these tiny treasures
have a seed snug inside,
and if the seed is lucky,
if it gets some water and sun,
then the seed will start to grow,
I wonder what it will become?
