Grow Through Life

I want to learn

Want to grow,

Like a tree

Strong and tall. 

I want to try 

Different things,

I want to try 

Everything. 

Chose the soil 

Where my roots 

Will grow,

Choose the things 

That will make up

Who I am. 

I want to stretch 

Out and touch the sky,

I want to blossom

And bloom,

In the most beautiful ways

And become better,

Better than I am today. 

I want to feel the sun upon my skin 

And the rain refresh my soul

I want to learn and grow,

Give shade to others

And provide fruits and leaves,

Be helpful to all. 

I want to touch the sky 

To stand high,

And when I look down

I will see how far I have gone. 

Into the sky

Scrapping the clouds,

Yet still looking below 

Helping those who

Just began to grow. 

It’s not easy,

It’s hard in many ways,

The sun might

Not always shine,

But sometimes 

We flourish the best 

In the rain.
