Growing

I sprout out of the ground

Opening to my new life

Breathing in air for the first time

Waiting to grow

I hear birds chirping,

Flying over me

And finally, my first bird lands on me

Still waiting to grow

Leaves sprout

I become a home

Helping the lost ones

STILL waiting to grow

Leaves start falling off

Birds move out

Branches fall off

I realise am dying

I fall

I fall

I fall

Now I cannot grow
