***Just a note, I haven't lost anyone to death.. I just lost them to someone who can "help them grow". Thanks of reading*** I was given a seed one day And the power to make it grow I prepared the earth to hold it Then it was time to sow It took a few days of waiting And ever patient care But finally, a little green plant Could be seen growing there I loved the life I did possess More than it ever knew I dedicated my life to making sure That the little green sprout grew I gave the sprout food every day I gave it water and sun But time did pass, and the little seed Was smaller than it had begun My heart turned to see my seed Grow weaker by the day I tried everything to make it grow I just couldn’t find a way My little sprout was turning brown And I could only look and cry As I watched this little life Slowly shrivel up and die One day, a lady came to me And said, “There is one way, you see That your plant can possibly survive You must let it go with me” The soil wasn’t right for my seed And it couldn’t thrive and grow So, I did the hardest thing I let my little plant go I see my little seed sometime It’s grown into a tree I’m glad to see it living Although it’s not with me I smile each time I see it Although I also weep I think of it each waking hour And also while I sleep I loved my little seed enough To know when to let go Although I wish it was with me I wish I could make it grow True love is when you love someone More than they will know You’d rather cry alone each night Than never see them grow When you love someone enough Sometimes you have to know When they can live and grow with you And when you have to let go  "Men judge generally more by the eye than by the hand, for everyone can see and few can feel."-Machiavelli |

aaaaaw how pretty!!! I love it!! Letting someone go is always hard, but your poem is very true. You have to let them go sometime or another, or eventually they will leave you for good and it will hurt soooooo much more! Well I really really like ur poem!! It flows well, excellent job! Keep writing!! Much Luv, Priscilla How come it is so easy for a person to say "I hate you," but it is so difficult for someone to say "I love you" and really mean it???? |

aaww! That was so sad and sweet... taught me something, though. Glad you found the strength to let whoever it is go...  Rhonda "I am Canadian" - Joe "When I find the right guy for me, I'll love him no matter what he does or what he's like" |

Wow. This is the poem I've been trying to write ever since forever. Thank you for doing it for me. Take care.~Carly "Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye--it also includes the inner pictures of the soul." ~Edvard Munch |

I love this one alot. Written with a touch of perfection and a dash of excellence. It is always hard when you have to give up someone or something you love. It's never easy.... hope you get through this ordeal...  |
