Grow

Michael Shtrom

Grow,

Little seedling,

Grow

Break through the earth

Victorious 

Hear the trumpets cheering

For you


Earth will drag you down

It tends to do that a lot

But you must not give in

You must accept the sun’s warm hug

With sprouted leaves

You must shoot up into the sky

Some will block you from the sun

Some will raise you up to it

You must learn to grow either way


Do not cry if you don’t grow at first

You’ll need all the water you can get

One day, you’ll grow into the mighty oak you were meant to be

From the moment you broke free

Break free

That’s all you have to do to start

You’ll find all you need along the way

All you need to

Grow, 

Little seedling,

Grow
