Inherit with Care

A poem by Evelyn Chen

Let us dig rows in the soil below,
A safe bed for each seed to grow
Together we pat the earth around
Where roots can burrow, deep and strong

With each day that passes by,
The seedling stretches, reaching high,
Its leaves unfurl, like wings in flight
Amongst soaring swallows in the sky

With every seed there is a tomorrow
A world of green, a world that’s fair
For generations to inherit with care
