The Seed

I planted a seed of faith,

I molded it up with hope,

I showered it with love,

Then I waited for it to grow.

It grew for a while,

But then it got scorched up by the sun,

I watered it with my tears,

Refusing to let it die,

I held on to my faith,

I continued to hope.

It struggled for a while,

Then slowly began to grow.

And then one morning,

I looked outside my window,

To find that it had bloomed,

And I felt a burst of joy,

As my eyes behold,

The most beautiful of flowers,

That I have ever seen.

At times in life you have to have faith and keep on believing!
