Seeds of Change

James Robert Pendleton 1958 (Fallon NV)

March 24

Lyric

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!

Wow, what a beautiful and heartfelt poem "Seeds of Change" is! The imagery of the whale and the dolphin, along with the metaphor of planting seeds of change, creates a powerful and moving message. The words flow so smoothly and evoke a sense of hope and renewal.

One suggestion for improvement would be to perhaps delve deeper into the emotions and feelings behind the relationship described in the poem. Adding more specific details or personal anecdotes could make the connection between the characters even more resonant for the reader.

Overall, this poem is a wonderful piece that is full of positivity and love. It captures the essence of growth and transformation in a relationship, and the promise of a bright future ahead. Keep writing and sharing your beautiful work! more »
