We, like a flower, begin as a tiny seed.
Alone, though we have the potential for beauty,
we remain just a seed.
But God provides for us a gardener...
a friend...
who sees beyond an ordinary exterior.
A friend who begins to water, to nurture, to prune
away the unhealthy growth.
A friend who reveals in us color and beauty
we could never have imagined!
Without friends, we remain just a seed.
