Beneath our covers fertile rest
Are seeds that wait to grow at best
Each planted by our hand of fate
To be all that we love or hate

Some will grow to give us trust
To weigh the truth and wipe the dust
Others they will raise their head
Exposing all the things we dread

Some will bloom to give us love
To find our ponderings above
Others grow as devil’s own
To curse some times when we’re alone

Some will be that Goose bump feel
The inner joy to turn our wheel
Others be our memories store
To look back on forevermore

Some will grow from in our eyes
To give our vision such surprise
Others pessimistic view
To find the worst in what we do

Life will test by casting seeds
Throughout our given time and needs
And as they grow we’ll need to find
A balance which will help the mind

For every seed’s a lesson’s start
That shows us life and tests the heart
To show us some of bad and good
To give to us as teacher would

So let us learn each lesson well
Become our teacher’s tale to tell
Of how a life can find a peace
From fertile soil and life’s release
