Like a seed planted deep in the earth
We start small, with infinite worth
Nurtured by time, by sun and by rain
We grow and flourish, from pain to gainOur roots spread deep, our branches wide
As we learn and grow with each passing tide
Our experiences shape and mold us anew
As we evolve and mature, like morning dewWe shed our old skins and take on the new
As we discover more of ourselves in view
We gain wisdom, we gain insight
And learn to cherish each day and nightThe world around us changes, we change too
As we grow and adapt, to a life anew
We face challenges with grace and poise
As we find the courage to make wise choicesSo let us embrace the journey of growth
And cherish every step, as we both
Live our lives with passion and purpose
And learn and grow, to our own service.
