Literature Text

If it could be that I could lay
This seed into the ground
To watch it grow beyond my hopes
And upward, heavenbound,
Then happily I'll bury it
Beneath the darkest earth,
That in its time it would bear fruit
And multiply its worth.

Though long the days and years may seem,
And backbreaking the toil,
Though sorrow seems to cloud the skies
With each round of turmoil,
It's hope that pumps this heart of mine
And fills my lungs with breath.
I think of you, and all my fears
And doubts are put to death.

It is no hope if I have seen
All that I have to do.
For then I would not know the joy
Of waiting time for you.
Day 4 of NaPoWriMo. I was looking through my poetry folder on my computer and found this poem lying around. I couldn't remember for the life of me if I had submitted it before or not, but it looks like I haven't. To be honest, I can't even remember writing this poem, but I like it.
