A Little Seed Poem by Suruchi(Sumegha) Salhotra

A little seed,
was sitting alone.
In the garden,
with no hope.

Looking all around,
lovely plants thrived.
with vibrant colours,
they all arrived.

The seed looked on,
with longing eyes.
with yearning to grow,
and touch the skies.

Through darkened soil,
it pushed with grace.
seeking the light
in its vast space.

It longed for sun,
and gentle rain.
that would nourish it's soul,
and ease it's pain.

Each day it grew,
a little bit more.
roots digging deep,
into the core.

From a tender sprout,
to a vibrant flower.
stood tall and proud,
in its own power.

From this small seed,
a garden now thrives.
a testament to life,
constantly strives.

And so the tale,
of this little seed.
teaches us all,
to never concede.

For even in darkness,
hope can be sown.
and from humble beginnings,
greatness is known.
