Spine uncurling
Limbs unfurling
Breaking through darkness
with arms lifted high
Full of life
Full of worship
Pregnant with promise
a future of fruit-laden vines
Unafraid of attackers
Undeterred by the doubters
Deaf to untruths and lies
Having known only life
and dependence on Maker
Having never seen otherwise
Having waited dormant
For the moment He told it
To spring forth, to
jump up and try
A seed grows in springtime
into a seedling
Grows bravely and
doesn’t know why
