I planted a seed of faith, <br />I molded it up with hope, <br />I showered it with love, <br />Then waited for it to grow, <br />It grew for a while, <br />But then it got scorched up by the sun, <br />I watered it with my tears, <br />Refusing to let it die, <br />I held on to my faith, <br />I continued to hope, <br />It struggled for awhile, <br />Then slowly began to grow, <br />And then one morning, <br />I looked outside my bedroom window, <br />To find that it had bloomed, <br />And I felt a burst of joy, <br />As my eyes behold, <br />The most beautiful of flowers, <br />That I had ever seen<br /><br />Marva Seaton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-seed-18/
