Born in the oak tree
The thick boughs cradled me
Sisters and brothers, thousands of mine
Celebrating my birthday with glee and joy
Protected by family I nestled in comfort
Secure in their love I breathed in fresh air
Nourished by the rain, I played in the Sun
Guided by family I took care of myself
A gourmet chef I became (though not taking cooking classes)
Paving the future for the life giving seed
Growing into an adult I took care of the family
Days passed by, seasons flew past
On a fateful day in autumn
A gusty gale dragged me away
Scared out of my wits I began to cry
“My poor home. Home sweet home
Where are you dear mother tree?”
I cried before I became a part of the soil
Now part of the soil, my home is bigger than before.
Wow! I am in complete awe reading this beautiful life lesson from such a young heart! Great job Sahana! Keep reaching heights!! 👍😊
