I’ll Plant a Seed

I’ll plant a seed

And watch it grow

I’ll watch it struggle against the harsh world

Just like you did.

You used to walk tall

You, the man who fought the goddess

You, the man who united Beorc and Laguz and Branded

You, my only friend.

But now you are gone,

And I am all alone.

This world is my cross to bear

And I’m in tears ‘cos it’s not fair.

You were cursed with a short Beorc life, whilst I,

Stuck between and cursed to an awkward length of days

Walk on, with no true home,

No home except with you.

I’ll plant a seed to remember you

I’ll watch it grow, like you did

And watch a tiny shoot spring forth new life.

I’ll plant a seed to remember you

But the real seed you left is not in the ground

It is in my heart.
