From little Acorns

A little Acorn

takes its time

to grow into

a fine oak.

Small, Green, Unobtrusive

Fallen through air

Awaiting its time

in the sun

And when sand falls,

and bells begin chiming

it falls down swift

to a bed of soil

And if it’s lucky

A gardener will toil

tendering and tilling everyday

until the seed makes its own way

And the acorn will grow

to become a new tree

instead of a bird,

or squirrels lunch or tea

  2. That’s a lovely little poem about acorns. I don’t normally like poems, but if they are short, and interesting, like this one, I love it!
