Humble Seed
Diana Moreno
You were planted
Not to watch
Not to observe
But to live
You are a humble seed
Held by a gentle hand
Placed and planted carefully
You were planted to make mistakes
Mistake is your roots making fault when growing
You were planted to learn
To Learn is to fathom how much light you need to shine
You were planted to love
Love is from which soil you arose
Sprout is to grow each passing day
Bloom is to dream of your lovely spring
Wilt is to try but to fail
Spring is to renew the failed
Dream is to be planted.
