Seeds of Hope Analysis

Read the original poem below. Then answer the questions using details from the poem. For written responses, explain your thinking in complete sentences.

Seeds of Hope

A seed tucked beneath the earth Waits through the quiet rain. The patient soil holds fast its dreams Until the sun returns again. Hope is a seed; it needs our care, It waits as seasons turn in flight. Tomorrow is a garden waiting, And every choice can help it bloom. The smallest sprouts push through the dark, Their green hands reaching for the sky. The wind hums softly, “Keep on growing,” As wildflowers wave and clouds drift by.
