Plants are patient Waiting for just the right time to sprout The slightest misjudgment on their part could mean death So they will wait as seeds for years Hiding beneath the tall oaks Hoping one day they will have the chance to kiss the sun's sweet rays as their elder's looming above them do
Plants are strong As people massacre them for food or for their flashy reproductive organs But they will come back Even though they know they will be cut down again
Plants are kind Giving themselves to help all others Blooming beautifully for the bees Cleaning corrupted air Giving back to the soil when they die
Someday I hope to be like a plant I hope to be patient in life Waiting for the right time I hope to be strong To grow back even when I know ill be cut down again I hope to be kind To give love to everything and everyone
