Ideas

It isn’t enough just to have an idea,
Whether formed by fact or intuition,
Unless you’re intending to nurse it along
And follow it to its fruition.

Ideas can be had, dime a dozen, it’s said;
Just thinking of one’s no big deal.
But not everybody has got what it takes
To turn one into something real.

Though each tiny seed that goes into the soil
May be filled with potential and power,
Only the few that are tended with care
Will reward us by sprouting a flower.
