You, Seedling
written by: Jeff Flesch
@FleschJeff
like a seed growing up through the ground
you were born, and the mystery
continued to confound
me, relating to the breeze was always so easy
and, yet
the little one cradling my finger
was our seedling, beautiful
with an air
of the love at the center of life’s turmoil and care
Did we dare? We did.
and, then you were born, it was like starting all over again
while we listened to our kin
we decided to do it as we thought best
I remember
you always rested your head on my chest, and
when you gave me your heart
it was of a size
and sparked like the stars in the night
and, when I looked into your eyes?
a tear dropped from the sky
blanketing us both in a love that would stand the test of time
