Tommy. (Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker
Tommy. (Translation) .
J'ai plante ma grain dans la terre
Et j'ai dit, 'Je la regarderai pousser'.
Je l'ai arrosee et je l'ai soignee
Aussi bien que je le pouvais savoir.
Un jour je marchais dans ma cour d'arriere,
Et oh, qu'est-ce que j'ai vu!
Ma graine est sortie subitement, completement
Sans me consulter.
-' Tommy'. Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-2000) .
