THE GIFT THAT PLANTS THE SEED

The gift that plants the seed may be that soft spoken word
A child does listen, even if you think you’re not heard
Like when “I love you” is said to your spouse
And the words that are used to run a house.

The gift that plants the seed will grow in time
In our young children with inquiring minds
From the first day of school to the day of graduation
The knowledge that grows is reason for celebration.

The gift that plants the seed could be a helping hand
So that the unemployed can again take a stand
They will know that you care as you pass by
Due to the gentle gleam that sparkles from your eye.

The gift that plants the seed can be all of this and more
But, if not carefully planted, may be the seed of war.
