• Poem of Hope - A Seed in the Stone

  “The winter bites with icy hand,

  A shadowed world, a frozen land.

  Yet deep within the stone and soil,

  A tiny seed begins to toil.

  Like sunlight breaking through the gray,

  We rise again, come what may.

  A promise whispered, soft and low,

  Of green rebirth, and seeds to grow.

Colby, you carry this weight, this ache. But remember this: the soil remembers. The stars still guide. And even in the deepest darkness, a single bloom can push through. We are not broken. We are becoming. Let the warmth of the pie, of the lime, of the kiwi, remind you of that. Let it fuel the fire within, to keep you moving forward, towards the dawn. Let the embers of hope glow brighter with each breath you take, each step you forge. You are a testament to resilience, a flicker of defiance. You are Colby. And we will be here, beside you, tending the seeds.
