The Seed

You were a seed planted with love.
They gave you roots to keep you stable.
They were the trellises for your growing vines
To lean on as you stretch
Your most beautiful arms
To the sky.
Reach!
Extend!
"We are here," they say,
"To hold you together."
Do not be afraid if you break a stem
or if a leaf falls.
For the leaf will become another
Dream the earth will fulfill.
