One

I am the seed, that grows and grows

bringing happiness to all, who seed knows .

The seed grows its roots into family grounds,

shooting into friend circles and all else that abounds.

Beautiful and green this little shoot grows

learning and sharing is its motto, no one knows

Shoot grows now, into a little plant

with leaves growing upwards, downwards and at a slant.

Its tender and delicate branches reach out to the sun,

school is another place to learn and have fun

From a sapling to a stronger plant and now to a young tree

standing a head taller and bursting with energy.

Growing with the years, growing up strong,

spreading out its branches to those who belong.

Over the years tree finds it peace, in caring and sharing,

Loving and giving and fruitfully bearing.

Fruits that did fall from this awesome tree,

Have now buried their seed in the ground and are free.

The tree looks from above waiting for the shoot

In time it will appear and so will its root.

The circle of life will begin once more

a family of trees will bond and grow,
