Oh little seedling

Oh little seedling
All warm in the dark
Such a small thing
Reliant on life’s luck

Nurtured and cared for
Watered and fed
Growing more and more
In your safe little bed

All unknowing
No expectant red skies
You stopped growing
No shepherd’s delight, just cries

No journey to the surface
No light of day
You stay snuggled in place
In my heart you will always stay

God bless Molly
