The Seed Poem by LINET SABASTIAN

I sow a seed
The land was fertile and well cultivated
The soil looked rich and good
The weather looked favourable
The rain was sufficient
And the season right
I waited and waited for it to germinate
But it never germinated.

I was sad and discouraged
I had put so much energy into it
So did I spend so much time.

Why when all seemed so right
I looked forward to a good harvest
Maybe I did not choose the right seed
Maybe it was going to grow into thorns
And not the beautiful flowers i expected.

Sad with wet eyes and a heavy heart I had to take it
I wiped my tears and prepared for the next season.
