Jeffrey Mitchell - Take Root, Buds

I spoke to the soil,
To pick and turn the earth,
So I can secure them and watch over them.
Before placing them under mother earth,
Before placing them, I spoke a word over them to ensure a life in them.
As they take root in the dirt.
Words spoken for encouragement, those who hear shall grow.
I will nourish them by sowing in them, speaking into their purpose.
Roses, Tulips, Daisy, Geranium, Hibiscus, Dandelion, Clavier, Petunia, and Zinnia,
Words that I will speak to their own uniqueness, so they can blossom and grow in their beauty,
As I place them in the earth as buds, soon they will begin to take the form in the ground.
Allowing their roots to get stronger, to seek deeper grounds
My words will be a part of them, so not to be easily up rooted, before its time in mother earth.
