Seeds

Love doesn't just appear.
It has seeds within all of us.

We are born loving, trusting.
As we grow we learn, we change.

Some learn to lock away those seeds of love
in some attempt to prevent pain, to protect.

Little do they know how much pain they bring to themselves.
How much they have lost at such a high cost.

Others tend the seeds, caring for them.
Suddenly they find that the seeds have taken root.

Love grows within, cared for it grows quickly.
Nourished with the joy that comes from loving.

The love grows quickly, filling you up
with happiness, fulfillment and serenity.

Love is a precious thing, easily injured or killed.
Once injured it takes trust to let a seed grow again.

Love with trust and dedication can overcome all.
Life without love is empty. Trust is hard to give.
