How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed
On through the watching for that early birth
When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs.
Robert Frost (excerpted)
How tough it is to be born, burst fresh out of nowhere and grow up in an adult's world where ruts and furrows, not round baby cheeks, are the norm.
