"How Can I Grow?"



How can I grow
If I have no roots?

I am a limb and
I have been grafted
From an oak tree onto
A flowering peach.

I shall bear no fruit
But I am expected to bloom.
I am expected to give birth
to beautiful, golden peaches.

Having lived on a tree
with which I share no roots,
I am living by the rules set
forth for this tree.

I do not breathe or move
That I do not wonder if I
Shall wrong this tree.
I have found that in the
Spring I am expected to bloom.
I do not bloom.

I would like to be myself, to
grow straight and strong,
As my heart is pulling; but
I am expected to be filled
with golden fruit.

What will I do? I must do what
My feelings direct me to do.
I am an oak. I am not sure
what kind of oak, but I am
an oak. I can feel it in my
heart and in my soul.

I must search and find out what
kind of oak I am.
I must find out
what is to become of me.

I am expected to bear golden fruit.
I will never be able to do such a thing.
But I can become a beautiful chair
or a table grand.

"How Can I Grow?" is a beautiful peom having a lesson. We need love, attention and fresh air to grow just like the plants need air, watering and sunlight.

Astonishing article that I have never seen before. I aimed to write an article based on this tally field, but my startings were rejected...Now, the information that you have designed in this blog was misery to read about this tally and its technical features. Surely these writings will help the beginners and the professionals. Thanks 123movies
