The Little Seed

I once began as a little seed
Such love and care you knew I'd need
Safe in the soil before I entered the world
where nothing would happen to your little girl

This seed was determined to grow honest and proud
Once able to stand tall she stretched out to the clouds
And in clouds she stayed because the little seed knew
you would always be there, to help her get through

The new sapling emerged, now a confident height
With youth she naively was thought always right
Instead of a life of mistakes or regret
you knew a way out, she's forever in debt

To one who was born a magnificent tree
Your branches outstretched, to always shelter me
As a tree now myself I can honestly say
It's my turn to do so, put your troubles away

You see, there's nothing in life that could ever compare
To a love for a father who loves the lion's share
The forest around me once scary and haunting
through your guidance is now not at all daunting

The little seed so small you once knew
Has grown and grown to be just like you
Strong and mighty and wise and true
Those warm crinkled eyes with a perfect blue hue

You're with me forever and this is my creed
I love you for always dad, your little seed
