GROW

G R O W




Plant here
a seed
because it will grow.


It will sleep that deep sleep
silently
beneath the snow.
Then the Spring will come,
with soft, sweet rain.
And with it the leaves
green and lush once again.
The roots will dig deep
though they will dig slow
While branches fan out
letting everyone know.


Here there were seeds
Here there was Love
Here there was Hope
as if on the wings
of a dove.


Here there were seeds
These seeds made a tree
The Love that I know
is the Love that was Me.


Here there were seeds
These seeds made a tree
And each day of my Life
Offers fruit's
possibility.


Always remember
Never forget
Love is a Hope
Not a regret.


More than a Mother
More than a Wife
Inside me there is sunshine
Warmth and brightness
A light
Taking all that is wrong
setting it to rights.


When I am weak
or I fail or I fall
for all that I Love
those that need me
I call
I speak to you now
and ask you take heed


I am more than you think
more than I seem
more than I saw
more than I dreamed.
For I am a tree
That tree was a seed
that grows in a garden
some gardens have weeds.


With nourishing Love
I grew from a seed
through pains I bore fruit
fruit with more seeds
My tree makes an orchard
many from the one
something from nothing
though my nothing is done.
Something from nothing
only when nothing
means one.


Hope is my Orchard
Love is my Tree
And there
at the heart
Is a seed that is Me...
