the seed
has no choice
about where
it will fall....
but once it touches the earth
it is fully committed
to its growing.........
on rubbled heap begins new life
makes best of moisture, soil and sun
no questioning, complaints or woes
resistance none to nature's spurt
despite the odds. More challenge life
more effort made and bounty seen
when shoot springs forth and leaf new green
to lord of life full homage pays.
Around luxuriant bushes bask
in glory. This, though less may seem,
in rubbled heap will quest its room
find pride of place in Eden's bloom. |
