Winds of Changg A tiny seed tossed by the winds of change Existing here and there throughout the city. One day the little seed found a home In a palmful of dirt within a crevice on the concrete. The rains came, snow, sunshine, and more rain ... One day a leaf burst through the cracks in the pavement. Year after year,more rain, more snow, more sunshine The seed began to grow into a tree in an environment it really shouldn't And managed to survive as a concrete jungle grew around it, Outsmarting the laws of nature. One can learn a lesson from this tree: To take root where it seems impossible To stand strong through the storms of life And to grow where the Creator has planted you! Erica
