~
The seeds we sow may not be for now,
It may be for a long time, for others to come.
The people we invest in, the lives we build;
We may not be compensated for in this life
But the seed won’t be missed.
~
The seed will take root,
It will be watered and sunned.
A plant will grow,
And a great tree will evolve.
~
That tree may be our food for a season,
That tree may feed a nation.
The tree may be shelter for someone,
The tree could be someone’s medication.
~
Sow your seeds, ever so deep,
One day they will come to light.
Plant only what you wish to reap,
Because one day the harvest will be ripe.
