THE LITTLE PLANT

This is a poem I learnt in kinder garden. It comes back to me now, after all these years, somehow!


In the heart of a seed
Buried deep, as deep
A dear little plant
Lay fast asleep.

"Wake!" said the sunshine
And speak to the Light
"Wake!" said the voice
Of the raindrops bright

The little plant heard
And it rose to see
How wonderful the outside
World might be!
