I was a small twig <br />Part of a tree so big <br />Protected by the leaves <br />I was safe and secure <br /> <br />My life was going smooth <br />Then in my life came a winter <br />Separating me from my leaves <br />Even the tree left me alone <br />To suffer the sorrow and pain <br />My life became so worthless <br />I remained buried in the ice <br />But still there was a little hope <br />In the corner of my heart <br /> <br />Then the weather changed <br />Giving me the needed warmth <br />Slowly the pain began to fade <br />With the wedges of ice <br /> <br />Finally god had opened his eyes <br />Unable to tolerate my pain <br />Day by day I grew stronger <br />And it boosted up my spirit <br /> <br />But lazing here uselessly <br />Was my only concern <br /> <br />Then a tiny bird flew over <br />And slowly picked me up <br />It used me for its nest <br />At last my prayer was heard <br /> <br />Once upon a time <br />I was protected by tree and the leaves <br />Today I stand here <br />Protecting a tiny life <br /> <br />This is an illustration <br />Of how life can change <br />So never lose hope <br />and never ever give up<br /><br />Kavitha Krishnamurthy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/memoirs-of-a-twig/
