The seed of resilience:
Everyone has a cross to carry.
Everyone has inner strength yet to discover.
Even challenges are subject to time–
So those too will pass.

The seed of kindness:
None is needless,
None is undeserving.
It’s a superspreader
Of bliss and goodwill.

The seed of thankfulness:
Each breath is a blessing,
Each day is a delight.
A grateful heart
Is always filled with happiness and humility.

The seed of joy;
Nothing is irrelevant if it makes you smile;
Nothing too minuscule if it lifts your spirit.
Often spontaneous,
But a deliberate act brings meaning.

The seed of caring:
Everyone appreciates a tap, a touch; for
Everyone appreciates empathy.
Too akin to love,
Care is a human legacy.

Sow them.
Nurture them.
Rear them.
Cherish them–
And your soul and being will flourish
With these seeds ’til the end.
