A Farmer Knows How Life Grows

Thoughts on 156 days of quarantine.

 

I keep a collection of my favorite poems and stories. Here is one done by our very own daughter on a day I was feeling a little blue for no apparent reason just anxious of what is going on in this crazy world.  

 

A Farmer Knows How Life Grows

By Bianca Merkley

 

 Before rising

 A baby seed nestled in soil

 Nourished with water and gentle rays

 Seeing harsh, forgotten, thick barren ground

 Some think it will never bloom

 “Let’s pluck it out” they say

 After a short time, the farmer sees that

 Nothing appears to be growing underneath

 The seed is bad

 It can’t be growing

 But the farmer waits

 Day by day

 Until the soil breaks

 The seed sprouts

 Green shines

 The farmer knows

That change takes time

 Trust the soil, the seed, the light

 Have faith that all things

 Will work out just right

 

I could not agree more with the statement: “have faith that all things will work out just right!” 

 

Con amor,

Vero
