Resilience Of A Seed! Poem by Namratha Swamy

What it is about being strong, being brave and being resilient?
Some do it with ease, some struggle to keep pace with the world and its idiosyncracies.

Like a tiny seed that pushes itself through the layers of the earth,
sprouting eagerly to meet the shining sun,
silently grows its roots within the darkness and inwards!

May be, thats the way to grow in life.
Thats the way to be!
The pain, the suffering, the loneliness...
The outer surface appear roughened, tough to break.
Inside vulnerabilities are hidden from the harsh climate!

Spreading the roots inwards, growing emotionally strong,
for the new generation has to sprout and thrive, and there lies your success and purpose of life!
