Once I planted a seed
It was very exciting indeed
I waited for that one leaf
Then it would give a big relief
I dreamed about it giving me a huge tree
Perhaps maybe a thousand leaves!
Forgetting that i will be late,
I recognized that i was past eight
The next day when the sun rose,
I couldn't stand on top of
my toes
I quickly rushed to the place
And I knew it wouldn't give me disgrace
I was filled with awe !
It was a tiny leaf that I saw!
A beam of sunlight touched it gently
And, I could see it thanking me
gratefully
I could now believe
That it would become a thousand leaves
And provide shade to thousand people
