.4. Grow Well Poem by David Threadgold

The knowledge tree will need to grow
While we still have the need to know
Its roots secure to help it growing
Food it seeks our need for knowing

Thick stout trunk a brain or store
With many wonders to explore
Branches go at every angle
Many problems to untangle

A tree as this of many years
Survives by feeding from our tears
Sometimes joy at knowledge found
They fall like raindrops on the ground

Remember in the world out there
Try to learn and be aware
And if you’re able, go to college
To fertilize this tree of knowledge
