The Garden Life For Kids and Young Adults

This was just a random thought I've had and always wanted to write it down.

We are much like plants. When the seed (us kids) is given to the right person it will do well. The person, if concerned for the plants well being will plant it inside the home to take care of it, away from the cold garden. When the seed is strong and it's roots sturdy, it's let into the garden to finish it's growing. The owner still helps it along in life, sometimes the owner will put it in a rocky area (incidently), and of course, the rocks stunt it's growth. Quickly the person removes the obstacle completely, to secure the plant before it's ruined or influenced. The plant learns to enjoy a shower of water (only when needed, because too much of something good is bad) and accepts that weeds are a part of life. BUT if a plant gives way to the weed it becomes small or even dead! And it's harvest is either small or none.
We of course are the plant, the owner our parents. If our parents are concerned how we will grow, they start us IN THE HOME. Inside the home, we learn to allow our roots to be moved to different places, from harmful company (weeds) to less rocky soil. Of course we must make room for the roots of our brothers and sisters, and learn to be patient for our water (blessings) and thankful for them too! But like I said, too many good things can spoil us! Also put up with our share of rocks. Now knowing what to look out for, like bad influences, we are set into the garden to grow spiritially and help others. It's different now that we've matured and grown, it's not as easy as it looked, growing in the garden with so many temptations. But we know right from wrong perfectly well and whom to associate with. Our parents still point out mistakes and transplant us from areas that aren't safe. Parents don't always make the wisest choices, they sometimes let us what we want to do, which isn't for the best. If any time we make a mistake they completely remove the problem causing troubleso that we will be kept innocent and clean. We readily accept the blessings of water and are forced to accept weeds- those little things that can cause sooo much trouble. Sadly some people give way to weeds and becomes part of the world . People look at us and we have nothing to show for our life. No good plants of our own, or good works.
As you can see it is your responsibility to make sure your children teach their children to teach teir children etc. to be wise and stay away from the weeds and rocks of like, and to mold them BEFORE they grow too much and CAN'T be fixed.
Which plant are you?
