Grown in dark

Surrounded by soil,

Pampered with

Water and sunshine.

A tiny leaf popped out

To see the world around.

Days after days passed

Other leaves joined them all.

It started growing tall and strong,

Dancing with wind

And shining with sunshine,

Turned into a big tree.

I spread my arms

Loaded with leaves

To give cool breeze.

But my arms got cut,

I got hurt,

The branches that gave shade,

Became a problem for them.

But I keep my arms spreading,

For the happy birds that are chirping,

For face that smile by my shade,

I will keep growing for them.
