All I Need Is Within Me
Vibrant greens, bolshie browns and gooey greys,
Feel the rush of the wind as I sway from side to side,
I’m young; I’m fresh, surrounded by grandeur,
I can survive,
But is that enough?
Deeply grounded & boldly standing,
Competing to survive with him, her and them,
I have the affinity to seek the light; I have the strength to survive,
But is that enough?
Overpowered by the enormity of those around me,
Overwhelmed by the majestic’s here there everywhere,
I have the passion and drive to be up there amongst the greatest and most powerful,
But is that enough?
Whoosh, thud, rustling, so loud so loud around me,
A storm of debris and chaos,
I am here, I am here, I can stand strong, I will stand strong,
But is that enough?
Calm, quiet, the zone is clear,
Light, warmth and moisture encompass me,
I will stand amongst the greatest?
Working hard, working hard, transforming, I have the strength, I have the support,
But is that enough?
All I need to survive is within me, from this little seed I have flourished,
I am the seed that fought so hard to embed my roots,
I am the seed that fought against the elements,
So Mother Nature why the opposition?
And now you bring down a grand tree and give me the opportunity to spurt,
Sun, light & rain shower me with love,
But is that enough?
That is enough; I have all that I need to survive,
I will grow into what I’m destined to be,
So I’m taking this opportunity to stand amongst the greatest,
Thank you Mother Nature for all that you give,
Thank you to ME for taking the opportunity to serve all those who need me.
“And yes little seedling that is enough”
