A Life In A Plant Poem by Aarushi Chatterjee

We started our lives as a little seed.
Encased as an infant with love and care:
Sprouting slowly into a kid,
And hey presto! There's a sapling there.
At three the roots dug slowly in.
The shoot peeped fearfully out;
And the next moment at the age of five,
The kid was busy capering about.
Soon came the leaves, and out erupted branches.
Into a sturdy child of nine or ten;
With tender buds creeping out slow,
And no more hiding in its den.
Growing and growing, all the time
Getting fresher and stronger each day.
Ever ready, ever strong,
To face every trouble that comes the way.
