Long ago, a green thick forest grew
Where fresh bright trees
Were covered with sparkling dew
Over the span of years, one fruit tree thrived
Some did perish, others barely survived
Listen to the tale of them
As it goes...
The Orange tree had oranges so rotten
In bitterness it said, "I have been forgotten !!!"
The Grape tree had clusters of grapes so sour
It constantly grumbled and was angry to the core
The Guava tree had its guavas so hard
Defensive and angry, was always on guard
The Melon tree selfishly lived for itself all alone
Soon all the melons were stinking and gone!
Quietly in the corner, an apple tree grew
It soaked up the morning glistening dew
In storm, in winter, summer and hard rain
It yielded, bent, never angry or hard, it stood to gain
How it lived each day produced the best fruit in time
It weathered the storms and, standing strong and sublime
It learned the secret of living
Yielding without fear
In the end of time
It gained the treasure
Of everlasting fruits
Because the Kingdom of Light
Were its very roots…
