Love Is A Seed Poem by Ojeikpo Elijah

Love is a seed, planted in our hearts
A tiny thing, but it can grow so large
With tender care and nurturing hands
It blossoms and thrives, spreading across lands
Through sunshine and rain, it finds a way
To keep on growing, day by day
With every beat of our heart, it grows stronger
And its roots run deep, for it can suffer no longer
Like a sapling, love needs time to mature
But when it blooms, it becomes a lure
For all who see it, can't help but be moved
By its beauty and grace, they are truly proved
It starts with a spark, a tiny flicker
But soon it consumes, like a raging river
And though it may hurt and bring us pain
Love is a seed, planted deep within
A promise of growth, a journey to begin
It starts as a spark, a tiny flame
Growing in strength, it's never the same
With watering eyes and nurturing care
Love begins to bloom, beyond compare
It spreads its roots, entwined and strong
Through storms and winds, it still holds on
With each passing day, it blossoms more
Into a beautiful flower, that we adore
Love is a seed, that needs to be sown
In fertile hearts, for it to be grown
But just like a garden, it needs to be tended
For it to flourish and never be ended
So let us nurture this love that we've sown
Together, forever, it will continue to grow on.
In the end, love's reward we shall gain
For with each passing day, it spreads its light
And it shines so bright, in the darkest night
Love is a seed, that never truly dies
For it can withstand even the harshest of cries
So let us tend to this seed, with all our might
And let it grow, ever so bright
For in a world filled with chaos and greed
Love is the only thing, that truly sets us free.
