a seed
a sprout
a sapling
an Oak tree grappling

Not just
a *****
an egg
an embryo
but a whole baby
that grows!

Not just
a kiss
a date
a friend
a wife till the end

Not just
a brick
a roof
a house
a home for child & spouse

Not just
a page
a chapter
a book
a Pulitzer Prize
that takes off and flies

Not just
a put-down
a bully
a spar
an ever-lasting scar

Not just
a day
a month
a year
We're building memories
aren't we dear?
