Little seed
In the ground
What will you be
When the sun comes around?
Will you grow tall
And dance with the trees?
Or will you stay small
And flirt with the bees?
Will you be beautiful
And sharp like a rose?
Or will you be dull
Like a weed in the grove?
Will you be tasty
Like the fruit of the vine?
Or will you be bitter
Like freshly brewed wine?
Will you bring smiles
One happy wedding day?
Or will it be a funeral
To which you will sway?
From that little seed in the ground
To the final stages of your life,
What could you be
During that time?
