Tree

Written from an experiment in science...amazing how a little thing can grow so large

It was just a little sapling

When I saw it first

Bugs and disease plagued it

Killing all its beauty

 

Water was added

A little shade was concurred

Its soil was firmed up

Weed killer was thrown on it

 

It started to grow

But it was still plagued

Now from inside

So another tactic was added

 

A swing was hung

From its highest branch

Many feet climbed it

Birds nestled in its leaves

 

Low and behold

The beauty began to manifest

Like an angel with a trunk

The plague had been defeated

 

Now the little sapling I had first seen

Is a fearless, strong tree

No windstorm can shake her

No plagues take her down now

 

You see

With a little guidance and nurturing

Even the most helplessly pitiful sapling

Can become a praise-worthy tree
