A seed opens
Life begins
Find your way

Root down
Rise up
Grow yourself

Dive deep
Spread out
Open yourself

Head held high
Touch the sky
Ground yourself

Embrace the light
Take your place
Be yourself

~ Val Boyko

My thanks to Ali Grimshaw and her Writing Circle for the inspiration today.

Namaste

    I love the rhythm of this poem, the content of the poem, and the imperatives so gently written. The graphics are lovely, too.

    Life is about serving and trees do that. They serve us food, they serve us the precious oxygen while they are strong and they suffer a lot from us. I loved your poem…
