Learn From a Tree

When you pluck a flower, the tree remains silent                                                              When you remove a leaf, it reposes to relent

When you climb over, it shields                                                                             When you sever a branch, it yields 

When you harvest the fruits, it doesn’t demur                                                             When you cut a portion, it doesn’t murmur

When you replant, it don’t quit                                                                                  When you cut the whole tree, it is quiet

For the tree treats you, as its’ master!                                                                                So your needs, happily it does cater!!

By silence, it symbolizes surrender                                                                                     It silently shows a noble order

The tree, to its’ master, contently admit                                                                                         Like the tree, to your Master, learn to solemnly submit!
