The Seed That Could Not Grow |

A tiny seed was buried down deep within the earth, forgotten by the sower and longing for it's birth. No sun shined down upon it to give it warmth and light. No drop of rain trickled down to cool during it's plight. The fight was not continued. It made no sense to try. All hope had been forgotten. The seed began to die. Then, by accident, he came. A youth with crystal eyes dug with curiosity and kept her as his prize. He gave her what she needed, although he didn't know. His care and understanding then helped that seed to grow. After time a bud appeared, a tiny little thing. She grew stronger everyday. He gave her everything. She showed her petals proudly so all the world might know, without the youth who found her, the seed, she could not grow. You have opened up my eyes, given me a new start. You will always hold a place of honor in my heart. [This message has been edited by BreyerRose (edited 08-13-2000).] |

Sometimes - when seeds are buried too deeply - It takes a little extra water and a little extra sunshine to help them become seedlings.... Nicely done, Paula...  |

Thank you Sunshine. In fact, that youth is my inspiration. He gave me the courage to get my pen out again after a long dry spell. The funny thing is, I've never even seen him, but I love him just the same. Maybe one day I'll let him know all thats in my heart. Thanks again.< !signature--> Hugs and Kisses, Paula [This message has been edited by BreyerRose (edited 08-13-2000).] |

Buried deep within the heart of every seed is the chance to blossom...the heart of man is no different. Well done, my friend. jwesley |
