Grow Tall Poem by Ima Ryma

The ones around me are so tall.
I wonder if I ever will
Be like them because I'm so small.
But what I hear from them does fill
Me with the hope that one day I
Will grow as tall as they have grown,
And be with them up in the sky.
They teach me as one of their own
To become rooted strong and well.
They assure that on me does shine
The vital sun to help me dwell
Within this family of mine.

The taller ones encourage me.
I too will be a tall pine tree.
