1 The Little Plant

In the heart of a seed,

Buried deep so deep,

A tiny little plant

Lay fast asleep.

‘Wake,’ said the sunshine,

‘And creep to the light.’

‘Wake,’ said the voice

Of the raindrops bright.

The little plant heard

And it rose to see,

What the wonderful

Outside world might be.

Kate Louise Brown
