The Growing Tree Poem by Binapani Mahaling

Once it was a dry seed
How it brought to the road side
It did not know
When the little raindrop
Touched the dry seed it germinated
The root penetrated into the soil
The shoot saw the day light
Trying to be a big plant one day
But so many times it broken
It never gave up neither will
It penetrating its root deep into the soil
Collecting minerals for its growth
It is trying to give more branches
Much more leves to be a big tree
And with years of struggle it own
Now it is a big tree
Standing on the road side
Giving shelter to birds and animal
It made the history
Still it is making more roots
Not for survival for giving shelter
