A seed was planted <br />Nurtured for years to come <br />Sheltered from high wind <br />Protected from storm <br />In time seed transformed <br />In a handsome tree that bore <br />Fruits sweet and succulent <br />And cool shade abundant <br />Looking at it asked curious <br />Ones what species is that <br />Where did we find the genus <br />What could be an answer better <br />Than call it gentry of love <br />A God's gift imparted to us.<br /><br />Savita Tyagi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/genus/
