little seed in the palm of my hand
what will you become
little see in the palm of my hand
you're luckier than some

little seed in a hole in the earth
take root and reach for the sun
little seed in a hole in the earth
your destiny has begun

your future is preordained
your choices have all been made
all you need do is grow
drink up water, go with the flow

little seed you've grown so tall
little seed you've done it all
flowers fade and trees wilt
the world turns on it's axis tilt
the grasses sway fruit rots away
a gift left behind in the fall

little seed in the palm of my hand
i know what you will become

Is that yours? It's quite beautiful.

I just wrote it while I was walking through the park. It could use a little work, but it made me smile.

I don't know if you were old enough to remember it, but when you were very tiny your mum used to read you a story about an acorn who went travelling the world. You'll have to see if she still has that book somewhere, or it might even be here from when Andy was little.

I don't remember, but I think that's beautiful! I'll have to look it up.

This is why I love having you around!

Because I'm old enough to remember when you drooled all over people and wore nappies? (I am presuming that you do less of both now that you've grown into such a beautiful and capable woman.)

Awww!

I admit to drooling on your son last weekend because he made me watch Die Hard and I fell asleep on his shoulder.

Nappies, however, I can safely say I no longer require.

You've been drooling on each other since childhood. No reason to stop now, one supposes.

True!
