I planted a seed in the soil as I wept
And through dark of winter it silently slept
Through blizzard of night and through wind frozen day
In silence and darkness, it patiently lay

What flower could come of a small planted seed?
Whatever it rendered would honor my need
For my life would be blessed with one colorful bloom
And no matter how small, it’s delight I’d consume

I planted a seed in the soil as I wept
After springtimes of rain it’s roots tenderly crept
Beneath ground once laden with thick icy snows
Came the green stalk of pleasure, the stem of a rose

Kissed by the sunshine and blessed by a tear
The roses abound in my garden each year
More glorious than any bloom I’d visions of
The seed that I planted - the sweet seed of love

I planted the seed in my youth as I wept
Through winters of sorrow it silently slept
Now nurtured by heart's spring, my gardens abound
With rich warm affection in love’s sweet surround

It is indeed that time of year when we look at miracles that we can, for a moment, hold in our hand, before entrusting it to the good earth....

this is wonderful....
