Morsel of Sky!

Not long ago in a faraway land, a sapling rose out from the soggy earth.

Shy and confused in the big vast world, wondering about her worth.

She spread around her tiny twigs, hoping to explore a bit...

But alas! Found the world, too big and far away from her reach.

But instead of sitting n’ moaning in vain, she decided to grow high.

and high she stood with a  haughty look, determined to touch the sky.

So she stretched up and grew, with all the effort she could put,

Ready for snags and hurdles and face it all, with a brave look.

So up she went facing gushes of gales undeterred, hoping for a chance,

Restless and fidgeted to reach the sky, until a twittering bird sat on her branch,

It was then she saw she was a massive tree, as huge as one can be,

a shade for passersby and a home for these avian beings

She felt proud, now that she had known her worth and was happy to realize,

as she saw these pretty birds fly, she had found her morsel of sky!
