Gentle blades of grass <br />Grows up. <br />From the deep earth a tree <br />Grows up <br />From seeds the vegetable <br />Grows up. <br />From the many wombs of nature an infant <br />Grows up. <br /> <br />From the wounded spirit <br />From the troubled mind <br />From the heavy heart <br />From the warfares of life <br />Arise my brother <br />Arise my sister <br />Arise, Arise <br />Arise and Grow Up.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/arise-and-grow-up/
