SPROUTS WITH DOUBTS
Seed waiting on first moisture to begin to sprout ,simple survival still in doubt
Shell a strong barrier to hold off the world,once broken exposing generations yet to be seen
Destination always unsure ,left with the wind or alignment and warmth of seasons ,blowing along the right route
Opening leaflets emerge like searching opinions or sympathies now progressing ,yet green
Lost in a sea of sprouts each one caught in doubt,warmth from around makes us reach out
Small we respond to the call, testing each whim ,met with a frown or grin,still flowing unsure which way to lean
Harsh to tender good judgement waits ,compassion or sentiment dependent on atmosphere ,experience bring more clout
Branching out waiting to blossom, learned lessons taking on more light,lacking refinement brings on the obscene
Awash in life's waters,tested like the rest, which grows taller shows the beauty or is the best, hindsight shows it all is lost in a drought
Annual is fleeting fast ,perennial solid secure, unsure of purebred or which way we are lead, hope for the good before it is all routine
Maturity often arrives lost in a grove never taught love ,another tries their time at trimming ,we accept reshaping with little discount
Did we learn from the growth take in the most,was our color simply for the others, whether perfectly preened or left in the brambles did we get what it takes to be serene

Tried to stay with the original idea of how we learn our emotions and plant growth or simple life cycle, changed the title which I don't think I have ever done or rarely. but tried to keep the flow to watch it grow:) so to speak:)
Knowing now how much is really dependent on what we learned THE FIRST TIME ,is harder to make that impression twice:) thanks for reading. Your thoughts are helpful. Happy NEW yr. Rick
