My Leaves are Green.
The Fruits are sweet to taste.
People resort under me for relaxation.
They never understood what I'm made of.

They take their pleasure out of my success story.
How I wish they comprehend and understood what I represent!

I was a Sample called Seed.
I germinated, meaning: coming back to Life after Death, when dropped on the ground.

I moved through stages to become what I am.
I lived in different Seasons.
I was there during Dry, Rainy, Stormy and Harmattan.
The good and the bad Time.

I saw Adversity in many places.
Sometimes, some People inflict Injury on me!
Despite these, I stood my ground and resolved to blossom.
I decided to be quiet and humble.

My Humility embodies good characters, diligent, discipline and honesty.

Though, it wasn't easy to flourish.
But, after the cloudy period, I bloom.
My green Leaves and Fruits are my Testimony.
I now give comfort to People without contemplating.

The regret I have is that People do not listen to me.
I swing in vain.
I swing for People to meditate.
I wish they understood what I represent.
I wish they learn from me.

Even, when I'm dead, part of me are cast into Fire while some adorn Places.
What a Food for thought!

If I could be given a voice,
I would say:
I'm like you only that I don't move as you do.
If I were you, I will learn from TREE.
Even during Adversity and Plenty,
I'm still grateful to the Creator;
The reason you see my branches and leaves swinging, always.
