Seeds

Seeds planted, cultivated or thrown into the wind.
The seed of love, a smile, a friendly word, a gentle touch.
Cultivated it may grow or it may die on the vine.
The seed of hate, your skin the wrong color.
A voice sounding different than your own.
Cultivated it may grow or it may die on the vine.
The seed of insecurity, you’re too tall, too short,
too old, too young, you’re pretty, you’re ugly.
Do you listen ?
Your confidence is slowly taken away.
Remember cultivated it will grow or it may die on the vine.
These seeds of love and hate
may be thrown into the wind, never to grow never to
die
May the seeds of love be the only seeds you receive.
Let them be planted-
Cultivate them so they may not die on the vine.

Love Bon-Bon
