Grow

Tuck your toes into the earth

Cool their tips and let them spread

Poke your nose above the soil

Uncurl your back and free your head

Stretch above the sunlit grass

Raise your hands toward the sky

Loose your hair and show your face

View the world with golden eyes

You have little time before

The sky is filled with winter's snow

But now the spring is new and full

Drink the sun and learn to grow
