Tree Poem

I'm in my little shell.
It's like a sleeping bag.
I'm snuggled up and warm.
But suddenly it starts to open.
I see the light; it looks so bright.
Soon I start to grow.
The sky is leaking, finally I can stop seeking.
To find my source of fresh water.
The sun is shining on me
With new friends in sight.
I can finally tell myself that,
It's alright.
Little kids are now climbing me
But they keep me safe.
They water me every day,
As well as my neighbouring trees.
I may have stopped growing, but
Every spring that passes by,
I drop my seeds,
And will forever stay alive.
