Seed in the Ground

 The seed has potential for greatness. It sat in a bag with other seeds, ready for new life, for exciting things. Brought out into the light, the seed smiled. Now life would truly begin, with joy. But then the seed was put in the ground, in a hole so tight, so cold and dark. The seed was so lost, so confused and hurt by what had happened.

 “This isn’t fair! It’s a mistake! Is my life to end before it begins?”

“Yes.” The darkness whispered.

  Life that was green began to die in the ground, hope and dreams rotting away. The seed called out, and then was still. But then…

 Then came new life!


 Then the seed was reborn, bursting through the soil triumphantly, full of hope and joy. There was always a great plan, the seed had never to fear. Death was merely a preparation for growth and new glorious, unimaginable things.
