If You Hold A Seed

by Elly MacKay

As a young boy holds a seed, followed by sowing it in the ground, we journey through the rainy seasons of spring, the bright sunny days of summer, the windy days of fall, and the cold wait of winter, watching the seed’s growth from sprout to flourishing tree, and from little boy to young man. The message is that wishes take time (similar to a growing tree), but by seeing them through, they will surely come to be.
