There is light in a forest too!!

Sow a seed, till the soil, nurture with all care and love,

Days to months to years and so, the time just ticks away,

Soon a seed, now a plant, and then a tree, full of fruits one day,

Wait, they ripe and juicy fruits, all yours one fine day.

Sow a seed of ‘Value’, till your mind, nurture with all care and love,

Days to months to years and so, the time just ticks away,

Seed of ‘Value’ is, now a tree of ‘character’ so high,

“As you sow, so shall you reap”, proverb touches the sky .

For those who miss to sow, ‘Values’ and ‘Virtues’, in the soil of life,

Days to months to years and so, the time just ticks away,

Forest with trees, of dis value and iniquity, is soon spread,

With fruits, of terror and violence, ripen and spread.

For a plant to tree, the roots dig so deep,

Better cut off a plant, wait not, for it to be a tree,

All you need is, seeds of goodness, with some space to sow,

Oh! they are scarce, sow them all, and share the fruits so.

Soon, the forest of evils, is forest of ‘Values’ and fruits so ‘selfless’,

Full of morals, ethics and souls so clean to bless.
