Little Brown Seeds
Author unknown
Little brown seeds so small and round
Are you sleeping quietly underground?
Down came the raindrops
Sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle.
Out comes the rainbow
Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle.
Little brown seeds way down below
Up through the earth they
Grow, grow, grow.
Little green leaves come one by one.
They hold up their heads
And look at the sun.
The Seed
Carol Simpson
I'm planting a seed.
I hope it will grow.
I'll water it carefully.
And one day I know
That something will happen.
Just wait and see.
That tiny little seed
Will grow into a tree.
A
Daffodil
A
little yellow cup,
A little yellow frill,
A little yellow star,
And that's a daffodil.

Poem Garden
Tomato,
Perfect,
round and red,
Growing
in your garden bed.
Cornstalk,
Tall
and green
With
yellow corn inside, unseen.
Melon,
Sweet
and round,
Resting
on the ground.
On
the vine,
Green
like this garden of mine.
Dig
A Little Hole
Dig
a little hole.
Plant
a little seed.
Pour
a little water.
Pull
a little weed.
Chase
a little bug --
Heigh-ho,
there he goes!
Give
a little sunshine,
Grow
a little rose.
Planting
I took a little
seed one day
About a month ago.
I put it in a pot of dirt,
In hopes that it would grow.
I poured a
little water
To make the soil right.
I set the pot upon the sill,
Where the sun would give it light.
I checked the
pot most every day,
And turned it once or twice.
With a little care and water
I helped it grow so nice.

Package of Seeds
They can't see
their pictures,
they can't read the label --
the seeds in a package --
so how are they able
to know if they're daisies
or green for the table?
It sounds like
a fancy,
it sounds like a fable,
but you do the sowing,
the weeding, the hoeing,
and they'll do the knowing
of how to be growing.

Waking Up
A little bean baby
Jumped out of bed,
With a white nightcap
Upon his head.
He yawned and stretched
In the warm, sunny air,
Till his cap tumbled off
His shiny green hair.
