Like a seed needs nurturing
with a kind and watchful eye.
So do our hearts need love
as we watch our lives go by.
To grow, to be tall and
not to break in the breeze.
Our hearts need love's fountain
so we can live our lives with ease.
The seedling that would grow
into a bountiful flowering tree.
At the hands of the caretaker
is how my heart is with thee.
So tend to my heart's needs
as you would a tiny seed.
And watch it bloom in beauty
giving you all the love you need.
