☆ Thoonth –the Tree Stump☆
Every tree stump
can grow
Green shoots
Innocent sprouts
Blossoming buds
Rainbow hues flowers,
With chirping birds
perched on them…
All it needs
A little manure
A little water
And plenty of love…
*Similarly*
Every person desires
An assuring pat on the back,
Soothing delectable fingers,
Soulful affectionate eyes,
And, encouraging words,
Everyone has his own definite role…
You all stick together *In drive to green* the stumps
And I will make sure
*No one ever becomes a* stump.
