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.
