Lost Seed

© Julie Ruffell

It's in the earth
A little lost
It's so dark down there
It could not find the sun
It may not be the biggest tree
Or the most beautiful flower
But it is not without purpose
Help it grow. Give it rise.
Use gentle fingers to show it the sun
Lightly water it
Be tender, and frequent
And watch it grow

It may never matter to most
But it could mean everything to you
And you to it
