Poem by Alexis Williams // Illustration by Kaitlyn Lafferty
I wished I could grow a sprout like the others
A seed becomes a plant becomes a tree
But not my seed
It won’t grow to become like thee
At least that’s what they told me
My seed was worthless
It had no power to grow
The others told me it would never come to be
But I dreamed on even though
One morning my life had changed
The skies were clear after a night of rain
What I found surprised me
I had grown a bud
