Lullaby for a Flower


Little seed, come take root,

In the bosom of the gentle earth.

Sprout and grow, seek the sun,
For to bloom's the meaning of your birth…

(Is the meaning of your birth...)

You'll shed tears when the rain falls upon you
 of joy and pain;
Come the frost (falling softly)

You aren't lost (you can't be)

For you'll winter, (you’ll endure)
Underground, (and under snow)

And then you’ll grow

And then you’ll know

Just how I loved you so… (How much I cherish’d you)

(I love you so...)

I’ll always be with you

My little, darling seed… 

And if you come back, and I'm not there, just know,

Little seed, never fear,

Grow and flourish planted in the ground,

I'll be back, this I swear,

For there's nowhere nicer to be found…

And you'll sweat when the dew forms upon you,
You'll fight for all..
Tempests rage
But I’m here
Yes, you’re lov’d
Best of all
And this I promise you
That I’ll be back someday
I’m always with you
Just as I’ve always been
My little, darling seed.

Just as I promis’d you,
I’ll be waiting here inside...
