HEY LITTLE PLANT

by

Hey Little Plant!

Behold your leaves

With all the beauties they chant

And stop being naive.

Cheer up and listen! 

See how green they are,

That even Mother Sun has risen

To gaze it from afar:

You are strong and enough

So ignore the weeder’s lies,

For though the storm be tough,

You’ll never die.

Small might be your beginning,

But that’s not your all.

You’ll forever be attaining,

And your wins will have no walls. 

Peel the veils cladding your eyes 

And, see what the future paints for you;

Never lose hold of this sight

Even when the light turns dark and blue.

Hey Little Plant!

I’m sure you have learnt this one thing 

To shut out every noise of ’can't’

And to your Planter’s voice, gladly cling. 

Hey Little Plant
