Becoming the Seed

Like the changing of the leaves

We all begin green

Innocent and serene

As the wind blows

Our character shows

Until we let go

Wilting away

In the ground where we lay

Becoming

The seed

For everything and

Everyone else to grow

When my time's come to leave

The tree I will plead

Always remember me

As your branch grows

And your character shows

Learn to let go

We all wilt away

In the ground where we stay

Becoming

The seed

For everything and

Everyone else to grow

Everyone else

Everything else to grow

Will I succumb to be

Lost in the hum or

Felt in the heart like

The beat of a drum

The beat of a drum

Becoming

The seed

For everything and

Everyone else to

Everything else I've

Become the seed

For my family to grow
