THE SEED********
HE TOOK A PRECIOUS LITTLE SEED
AND PLANTED IT SO TENDERLY
KNOWING THAT IT WOULD MEET A NEED
HE SAW THE BENEFITS FOR ME.

HE NURTURED IT WITH HAPPINESS
AND TENDERED IT WITH LOVE AND CARE
SO PLEASED THAT HE HAD DONE HIS BEST
AS ALL OF THE BURDENS HE BARED.
QUITE SOON THE SEED BEGAN TO GROW
A SWEET FLOWER SOON APPEARED
THE ROSE OPENED CAREFUL AND SLOW
SOMETHING GREAT FILLED THE ATMOSPHERE.
IT WAS A PERFECT FIT SO TRUE
THIS BEAUTIFUL GIFT JUST FOR ME
ITS LIGHT WILL FILL MY DAYS LIKE NEW
THROUGH ALL WEATHER SO PERFECTLY.
IT WILL BE A JOY FOR MY HEART
AN ENCOURAGEMENT OH SO STRONG
I FEEL GRATITUDE FROM THE START
FOR THIS BEAUTY MY WHOLE LIFE LONG.
I GIVE YOU THANKS AND PRAISE RIGHT NOW
FOR THIS BLESSING THAT NEVER ENDS
THIS GIFT TO MY HEART YOU ENDOWED
THAT I HAPPILY CALL MY TRUE FRIEND.
