A child for me is a God's seedling A being plant-like that's newly sprung in spring. It needs good soil, food and fertilizer Water, sunlight and proper care: From parasites it should be free, For it to grow strong, pliant and healthy.
As time passed by the season change Summer has come there aint no rains, The trees were exposed to the hot rays of the sun Summer is a trial for them to overcome; Some trees remain blooming with thick foliage Others wither but have fight till the last.
Some have managed to have some healthy fruits Others cant even sip a drop of water from their roots, Some have given up because of the drought, Others are pallid and remain stagnant from growth; Some trees are carefree 'cause water they stored Others are jocund in company cause preparation they wrought.
As summer passed the autumn comes So all the trees have to change at once Some are ready from whatever may befall All of them knew that their leaves will fall; It's gonna be a hardship for one and all But they have to struggle and face an autumn toil.
Some trees can't make it, their trunks were bent Others so careworn and some even lament. Some tried to make it with all their might Hoping someday they'll see the light; And so the trees sticked with their fight Ready to face anything till the end of the night.
And the night is over the winter dawn breaks Over the trees trunk fall the snowflakes The thin barked ones quivered in chill The amply covered ones remain standstill; The weather's just the same to those adapted But to the tyro, a lot of coat they added.
Some have in their trunks a rock of snow How they're gonna handle it? They don't know. Some sturdy trees offered their help To their needy neighbors who yelp for help; Some sturdy trees even refuse a lending hand But they never did see the rising of the sun.
When winter is over, welcome the birth of spring And all of the trees have waxed one annual ring, In their new birth, they long to zoom They wanna have some buds for sumner bloom; All of them yearn for summer boons Hoping they will survive lots of autumns.
To some trees life's a blessing, to some a bane And most of them have waxed and waned Life is an up and down motion it's a law It's a rule that every tree will follow; There is a time for reverly, a time for grief It's not alone for pleasure that we live.
I wrote this to compare human life to the trees and how they are symbiotically dependent on each other. Hope to inspire a lot to pursue life to its fullest whatever circumstances they have. Never give up!
