A unique tree that grows
With the fertiliser of commitment
Providing food of knowledge,
The shade of protection.......
To the tender ones to find
Their place on this planet.
The tree even in stormy wind
Performs its duties till leaves fall
Towards the end of autumn.
Though feeble and frail now
It feels happy when it learns
The growing tender ones
When getting ready
To bear fruit to continue
Another circle!
