Seeds to Plants

Seeing them grow. 

It's like seeing flowers bloom, unlike in the seed-up videos you see online. 

But seeing it gradually, over some time. Seeing them grow from the seed, like a plant, into a stem or vine. 

Hoping time will pause for a short while, so you can enjoy what you can from the little flower.  Like being able to hold them in one arm or hold them in general. To have your arms circle them. 

To care for them, give them love. Share what you loved as a young plant. Share what you grew to love as you were growing.

Hoping and praying that what you saw and went through as a seedling won't touch them or be near them for as long as you live, and for as long as your soul continues in all realms. 

To see them sprout into a beautiful plant, that has the most beautiful leaves or peatles. To see their roots settle where they can grow magnificently in either sunshine, moonshine, or all weather. 

And finally when you pass through the door of the afterlife and fulfill the other half of your vow. They, themselves, will do the same, if not with their seedlings then with the right people who come into their lives and stay to help them grow more.

To see their seedlings grow.
