A Rare Seed

Prompt words in red.

Love is a rare seed.

Cultivated in rich compost,

with a supportive habitat,

not only will love

survive, it thrives,

and ripens under the heat

of your care.

Admire the beauty it produces,

as the colors of the sea

at sunset.

Taste the fruit,

the sweet reward

of a job well done.

Cherish your love,

weed out crude words,

and love will live a lifetime.
