Grow My Little Sappling

By Ayana Fotedar

Grow my little sapling

I know you want to touch the sky

Outrun the sun and dance with the winds

So spread out your roots and rejoice

You will sway with the winds

You will grow with the others

So, grow my little sapling

Grow as tall as you can

Reach to the sky and touch the stars

Let the soil make you grow

And the winds make you dance

So, you grow my sapling

You grow tall

And fulfil your dreams

Every time I pass by

Your beauty will mesmerize me

Then a plant now a tree

A creation worthy of Demeter and Pan

For they are those who nourished you

Fire and water together they created you

Live up to everyone’s dream

Stand tall in this beautiful nature

Your tough roots have held you strong

You have grown my sapling you have grown tall
