You start from the beginning
small and learning
trying to grow and figure out
your way to the sunlight
 
The dirt is so warm
and also cooling
it stores our roots
those things that build us
 
But we need care
water, sunlight, nutrients
our development is slow but steady
we learn as we grow
 
Now we change
stem, leaves and brightness
we're so green and bright
we seem the same but are unique
 
Rain will come and go
Sun will dry us off
We deal with light and dark
and we stay strong
 
As we stand
we are beautiful
we bring joy to others
just by following our path
to the Sun
