The Seed

Within each child, there lies a seed

Though tiny, it is rich with potential and purpose

Inside that seed is the promise of life

This is God’s gift of Grace.

Though unseen through human eyes

We know the seed exists

For God creates us in His image

This is the fruit of Faith

As we wait, we patiently watch

Tending, loving, watering the seed

Committed no matter the cost

Our Hope keeps it alive

Every day, we toil and weed

Sometimes watering with our tears

For the seed will only thrive

In soil rich with Love

Someday, that seed will sprout

If we are patient and do not give up

Though it be small, in time it will grow

Dazingly the world with its wonder

So tend it well, do not grow weary

For at the proper time we will see

That tiny seed has grown to be

A tall and mighty tree.
