A Seed's Life
By Hannah K

A lazy bear found a seed,
Looking for its morning feed.
Left it upon the dry ground,
and walked away o'er a mound.
Every day the seed sank,
as the sun shone on the narrow bank.
“Will I ever sprout?”
exclaimed the seed in doubt.
After a month it was finally a plant,
and right beside it was an ant.
Defenseless, only towering junk came to say hello,
it couldn’t go on until it heard a bellow.
The rubbish had fallen, it could see a light,
pushing on, it put up a fight.
With a powerful push, its branches broke the tower,
Finally everything in the mighty tree’s power.
