The tree I planted


The tree of love I planted as a seed

while in despair when I felt lonely

it started branching out to all those

who needed love and care as a tonic.

They came to me now and again

with love I tended to them all while

I forgot my despair bestowing care.

Now I am blessed with folks around

who glued them to me with gratitude

and that is when I looked around me

the tree of love had got them all back.

This poem was inspired from APJ Abdul Kalam’s quote…”I had a sparrow as a pet it flew away one day then I had a squirrel it ran away. I planted a tree and they both came back”.
