I loved the spouting coconut
It got a special place
I loved the casuarina shoot
It got a special place
The coconut and casuarina shoot
Shared a common garden
The sunlight shone for both
And so did nourishing rain
One grew a thousand leaves
Tiny needle shaped and small akin
One grew a few giant leaves
Majestically waving in the wind
Phenomenal beauty of the casuarina
Its oxygen was shared for free
In perfect harmony with the loveliness
Of the superb amazing coconut tree.
So different, my two cherished trees
And yet loved by God so much the same.
A fully fulfilled potential each
‘cause someone cared, each in a special place
The huge diversity of each of us
Is to be celebrated in every way
But all deserve the care and rights
To reach their full potential day by day
So let's give to all children dear
equal space and 'light' and 'rain'
full potential for each to achieve
Diverse, but how we all would gain!
the hypothetical idea is put forward with nice words, but we have the variations as the swords to cut off our opportunities in every field and country..Thank you for sharing..
