My Journey

I might be tiny but I am mighty 

sometimes I am fiesty 

my home is tight

but I will soon see the light.

I can hear birds for the first time

 I can hear my roots stoutly growing

There is a fire but I will be fine 

the fire is slowly growing towards me. 

It is getting hotter by the hour

smoke, red, yellow and orange is all I can see

There is a sour smell in the air 

Fear is taking over me as I see the fire spread before me 

The firefighters are here, they will save me 

I see hope again. 

Then I notice something amazing 

As I look up at me I see flowers, the most beautiful of them all

Sadly it's time for me to go 

Live for my afterlife

I wave my branches as I fall to the ground.
