It starts with a seed
but remember, it isn't an easy deed.
It has to be fed,
but first placed into a bed.
It needs lots of sunlight,
but not as much moonlight.
It has to be cared for,
and not treated as a bore.
It deserves your attention,
not just a one month session.
For this seed,
which is a great deed,
will grow into a flower someday.
And you will be at bay
because you created a healthy flower
but remember,
it wasn't one, nor two, but four.
You've almost created this difficult hour.
