Seeds of Change



As the whale splashes his tail in playful rhythm
The dolphin leaps joyfully before the ships at night
You came to me with fertile scores
And planted the seeds of change for ever more
Together alone we’ll never be
Having faith and trust in our growing needs
In your hands I plant my love
Carry me gently and cherish our bond
I promise to give all I have to give
And more than that I promise to me
I have to be honest, tender and gentle
Owning a pure heart for you to see
It is easy to see the hardest part
By being open, honest and sharing a lot
Our beautiful spirits are joined in flight
As the Seeds of Change, you’ll always be in my heart!
