The tiny seed knows its place
becomes well-rooted
before showing her face
Drawn to the beauty of light
she stretches upward
to live within its sight
She drinks deeply from the sky
every time it falls
to splash and land, nearby
Limited by what she knows
she lives her whole life
reflecting on sun’s glow
and yet, somehow, she grows
My heart is big
but not big enough
to hide the hurt behind
when you forget me
or speak words unkind
My heart is strong
but not strong enough
to lift the pain away
when you ignore me
or hold me at bay
My heart is full of love
but not full enough
sadness still finds a space
when I rest my eyes
on your empty face
Must admit
that though about to quit
time taking over bit by bit
just wouldn’t give doubt the benefit
held onto gathered wits
then alas, I found it
shining and brightly lit
HOPE, on the face of it
