NEVER GIVE UP

NEVER GIVE UP!

I am a seed,

Strong,

Or maybe made strong,

Able,

Or maybe made able,

And ready to Germinate.

 

Down in the ground

They bury me,

Much is expected

More,

They want me to Bear Fruits.

 

But am in the dark

Lost and confused

I don't know how to go about it,

All I know is,

They want me to Bear Fruits.

 

In the dark, I struggled

At least,

I thought,

They provided me with

Conditions to Germinate

For that I was Grateful.

 

I am a seed,

With all that is needed

And the ability to Germinate,

But this time,

I Bury myself.

 

I wish I was buried,

For maybe,

The sower could take care of me,

But this time,

I am both

A Seed and a Sower.

 

At first, it was fine,

I was happy to be in the soil,

The darkness didn't bother me,

For I believed in Fruitfulness.

 

So I was happy,

However,

I started to notice the darkness,

Tough times came,

I fought to survive,

One thing I knew,

I didn't want to give up.

 

All I expected was to grow,

Grow,

And then,

Grow again.

More,

Grow to fruitfulness

I wanted to grow throughout,

Most importantly,

I wanted to survive.

 

I was ready for anything,

Still and all,

Death was not on my list,

I did this and that to avoid it,

Nevertheless,

All my efforts seemed not to work.

 

After which

I realized,

It was a must that I die,

Before I am ready to grow!

For,

Dying time itself

Is part of the growth indeed.

You too might have experienced it.

 

Be that as it may,

If we must die to grow,

Let us die happily,

If we must die to be fruitful,

Let us die happily.

 

All the same, we are dying,

Come what may,

We will rise and grow again,

We have been shutdown

But we should not stop.

 

No, no, no!

We should not be terrified

By the darkness,

We should not be terrified

When nothing seems to work,

We should not be terrified

To the point of giving up.

 

All we have to do is

To never give up,

Let nature follow its normal cause,

For in the end,

We surely will grow

More importantly,

We will bear fruits.

I wish you never give up,

When it's dark,

Hope for the light,

Where light seems to not appear,

Be the light itself.

If you must die to grow,

If you must die to bear fruits,

If you must die to be successful,

Do die happily!

Just like the endosperm,

For after death,

Life begins

Thereafter,

You will be able to grow

And bear many fruits.
