Growth

NafisaSB

In the midst of life there is death

And in the midst of death blooms another life..

A tiny seed has the capacity

To grow into a mighty oak

It just needs to persevere

And hold on with all its might..

The stages of growth are fascinating

Especially in mankind…

A tiny brawling baby

Can turn into a mighty superman

Given the proper initiative and nourishment

There is scope for immense growth

So take that first small step

And then you can carry forth..

We find four seasons in man’s life too –

Spring – when life is budding

Summer – when he is in his full strength and capacity

Autumn – when he is fully matured

And finally – in the winter of his life

he can look back

either with sorrow

or with pride

depending on how he has shaped his life
