I lay dormant, in my cozy coat
It protects me from all kinds of danger.
My world is small and dark, I don't even meet a stranger.
Suddenly water is around my coat, It starts to float.
I hold my breath, what is happening?
I stop thinking as water streams inside.
Everything is wet, nowhere to hide.
Suddenly a ray of light pierces my dark world, am I imagining?
Crack! My coat breaks and light fills my eyes.
I gasp! I am flabbergasted at the sight I see.
This jolly, bright and colorful world was unknown to me!
I see the other plants towering above me, and I wish to grow as high.
I think I am free, I can move now.
I try and try but no, I can't move an inch!
I look at the soil, I gasp and flinch!
I am stuck to the soil. Now how Should I move? How?
I think and think and think some more.
It's the root that's holding you down- it’s your part.
Giggled the other plants and I felt silly at heart.
I look up. I see I have leaves, not one but four.
I forgot that I was hungry in my excitement.
Watching others, I stretched my leaves towards the sun.
Waiting in the sun, I had a lot of fun.
While doing so I fulfilled my requirement.
