Mighty Neem Tree

By Sruthi Prabu

Fluttering in the winds with a mighty tremble.

Yet, you never swayed when the ground rumbled.

Basking under the sunlight with a green glow on your face.

You hold me close without an empty space.

You showered me with your flowers on a sunny breeze.

Hey! Your leaves saved me from every disease.

You bore sweet golden fruits like a bunch of grapes.

Baby, I will protect you under my mighty cape!

Every being loves you just the way you are.

But, I see them leave you with a scar.

You protected me since I was a child.

Now, look at you! You have become so wild!

Don& t fret, Oh Mighty Tree!

I will set you free!
