  One seed to change the world Such a small, small seed. Plant it in the hearts of humans such a simple, simple deed. Watch it grow tall and strong such a big, big change. Growing faster taller and taller by every drip drop of rain. One Seed of world peace such a small, small ...

  I Whisper to the Flowers

  

  By Miranda2013, Clintwood, VA

  I whisper to the flowers as the dew on their petals glisten. They do not complain to me they just simply listen. It seems very strange to you that I have flowers only to speak to and keep me smiling. Without them I'm far too lonely....

  I feel the dew from the fresh cut grass beneath my bare feet. The sweet, alluring scent of the blossoming trees catches my attention as the warm, peaceful breeze wraps me in comfort. I find myself wondering in a bed of flowers and just in the middle stands a delicate, red r...

  Catching Snowflakes
