The Little Seedling
Carole Fry
I am waiting here below the ground,
Because above the snow is all around.
I want the warm sunshine yes spring is what I need.
For I am nothing at the moment just a little seed.
I think I could be a flower but I don't really know.
But if the weather changes I know that I will grow.
I want to put some roots down and stretch out my leaves.
And look so bright and beautiful blowing in the breeze.
At last wintertime is over and the springtime begins,
And up in the trees the birds now start to sing.
The sod feels soft and gentle and everything is new,
Now I know what's happening and I know what I must do.
I push out my head and up to the sky I go,
But I need some more sunshine and I know that I will grow.
Just look at me I've done it I knew I would succeed,
A wondrous beautiful flower grown from just a little seed.
