Become like a tree

Sow the seeds

some become plants

and some plants trees

some lean and tall

and some strong and thick

some touch the sky

and some spread on every side

some yearn to be seen

above every tree

and some grow heavy

with fruit and leaves

and lower themselves

to give its shade and fruit to fill

the talent that we have

what we do with it

to excel ourselves

or to share that

what all it brings

but let it not remain dormant

and nurture it well

to become like a tree!
