Planted

Through the journey of my life,

Where tears formed floods,

Heartache was destruction.

I carried my love,

Protected it,

Made sure it remained.

At times I tripped,

But the blood that ran through my veins,

Told my strength,

We must contain.

Be fierce,

Cry,

Don't become weak.

But learn.

Acknowledge and grow,

In my spirit,

I plant the seed.

~The Natural Poet
