From the seeds we learn our needs
A seed for a weed will grow anywhere
A seed for food must be tended with care

A seed for a child will grow wild;
If loving care is not there
Unlike weeds a child has needs

Seed of a flower needs an often shower
A seed nurtured, an apple orchard
A seed left alone, a seed with no home

The seed of thought has now brought
To more than a few, life that is new
Life that gains through growing pains

We sow seeds now to survive somehow
Seeds of war, be seeds no more
Seeds from above, seeds of love

Seeds of good judgment growing
Seeds of knowledge ever flowing
On wisdom's wind, eternally blowing
