Pavitra Somaiya, Class X B
I was very small
Not very tall
When I was sown in the soil
Like a wrapped foil.
Then I grew taller
And converted myself into a bush
Irrigated with fine water
It was the root that I pushed.
Slowly I grew into a plant
With many beautiful flowers
The birds hop around me
Like the shining stars.
The people watched me growing
Into a huge tree
Suddenly, I started showing myself
As though I could fee.
I became attached to my surroundings
Like a human being
But then I realized
That it was my last scene.
I gave oxygen to earth
And treated this planet as a child.
All the love I gave
Was somewhere felt very mild.
Unfortunately, I had to go
Leaving all those lovely moments
‘coz life is like a cycle
Which never ends.
