I wrote a quick poem for the week. This is a combination of various ponderings of the week and then the sermon at church today was about spring. So here's what came out of that.
Seeds of Joy
It is my mission to plant seeds of joy
To nurture these seeds inside my heart
To help others find that seed inside themselves
To nurture the growth along the way
I look at life as an opportunity for growth
I look back at the more tumultuous moments and track
The steps along the way
The leaves that grew during that time
The flowers that bloom in the adverse weather
I feel the potential energy
As I grow new roots
That spread out and find new places to cling
I feel the potential change
The time to sprout
New buds are coming soon
Now is the time to feel the rain
To bask in the sunlight
As the seasons change
It’s the time
To begin again
Finding the seed of joy
Watering it
Feeling it take root
And start to sprout
Into the vibrant flower
It was always meant to be
In the garden of humanity
We can all plant seeds by watering our own
And nurturing the seeds in others
By sharing the stories we learn as we grow
As the sun shines our roots grow deeper
Connected in community
Bending in the wind together
