Small Sapling's Life

Small saplings grow, higher and higher,

Growing tall with the biggest desire.

From tiny seeds,

To massive trees,

Vibrant colours and lush leaves. 

Growing taller, touching the sky now,

Thicker trunk and bigger bow.

Flowers burst from buds galore,

When Autumn comes, your branches are sore.

But now it’s Spring and almonds sprout,

Dancing leaves all about.

Growing taller everyday,

Wind watching flowers and almonds play.

Almond tree, gracious and tall,

Sways high above it all.

When it’s old and not so strong,

It sways more slowly, like a sad song.
