Planting Seeds

Instead of planting seeds of hate Away from that garden let's all navigate, Seeds of hostility and pain let's not sow Let's us not want revenge and hatred to grow. Into the ground let's be wary of want we plant Some seeds we can toss, and some we can't, And the plant that always grows the best fruit Are the ones, not planted by the boot. Let's be careful of the seeds that we water and nourish And let's be careful of the plants that we want to flourish, We all indeed are the gardener And we are also the forgiver and the pardoner. So, let us all remember before the seeds we plant Before their life we ultimately will grant, Were they planted to nourish our soul and our body Or will they instead make us ill and shoddy. Instead of hate let's instead plant vegetable seeds And together we can pull out the troublesome weeds, We can harvest from the good plants and not destroy Then that delicious fruit we can all share and enjoy.
