The Tree of Life

Life is like 
Planting a seed
It grows strong roots 
so that it firmly stands
It branches spreads
Through the skys
It takes time to grow
And bears fruits 
Which satisfies many hanger 
Even from generation to generation 
But a good seed
Planted on a bad soil
Fails to germinate
A seed planted needs
The air, water, light 
Time, care and protection 
Before it can be cultivated 
for nothing comes 
Out of the blue moon 
You don't plant olive tree
And reap grapes 
You shall surely
Reap what you sow
