I'm born from seed within the earth,
That's watered by the sky;
And once the sun bathed me with heat,
Lo! I'm a seedling made.
I drink by roots that prop like feet,
And breathe through leafy pores;
I cook my food in green ‘kitchens';
God's love helps me to grow.
And I can feel like any man;
I give all - breeze and shade;
I give myself to men and beasts;
Why then, they destroy me?
May be, like men I can't reason,
But I can never sin;
I am a dumb creature of God;
A soul, He never gave!
But I don't fight and I can't kill,
And I don't steal, tell lies;
I do my duty as God bids;
I'll praise Him on ‘LAST DAY'!

Who really knows what things that don't have souls feel like, but you really captured me here. I now wonder what other things in nature feel like. CAPTIVATING PIECE OF WORK! ! !

This is an innocent poem. It seemed to me as if the baby plant was talking to me.

I've been accused of loving trees more than people... I absolutely love
this poem.

What a clever verse! I myself am passionate about green growing things (I work in the gardening field) . I think trees are an example of God's most magnificent work.
I think this is exactly what they might say if they could.
Nice work!
Blessings! -TGR(Theresa)
