The Plant
A seed was given to a child
By his loving Father,
He asked him to let it grow,
To give the love it needs.
They planted it together,
In a garden full of color,
The child loved the seed
As he loved his Dad.
Everyday he checks on it,
Making sure it’s watered,
Everyday he shows his love,
To the seed of his.
Years passed and still he does
The things his Father told him,
The seed now has become a plant,
A beautiful plant of life.
But sadly as the years go by
He started to forget.
He was focused on the newer things,
The things that he now love.
The once a lovely plant,
Is now losing its beauty,
Losing its color
And losing its life
He didn’t care.
The plant is dying,
And he is at fault.
What has happened to that boy that cares?
What has happened to that seed he loved?
No more, forever lost in time.
Gone, forever it sleeps.
