The Last Seed

A farmer found one final seed at the bottom of an old wooden box.
He could have kept it as a memory.
Instead, he planted it.
Months later, that single seed produced dozens more.
His grandson asked why he had not saved it.
The farmer smiled.
“Hope grows only when it is shared.”
Many opportunities in life are like that final seed.
If we hold them too tightly, they end with us.
If we plant them—with faith, effort, and generosity—they create possibilities far beyond what we imagined.
The future often begins with one small act of courage.
