IT WASN’T COURAGE<\/p>\n
It wasn’t courage<\/p>\n
or strength<\/p>\n
you needed<\/p>\n
to plant that sapling..<\/p>\n
just heart<\/p>\n
and a touch of caring.<\/p>\n
You wondered<\/p>\n
if the hole<\/p>\n
was deep enough<\/p>\n
and who would water it<\/p>\n
when the rains were gone.<\/p>\n
It would grow<\/p>\n
and years hence<\/p>\n
you would walk by<\/p>\n
in its shade<\/p>\n
and remember.<\/p>\n
Someone destroyed it<\/p>\n
in the night.<\/p>\n
The sapling died,<\/p>\n
and a dream with it.<\/p>\n
But<\/p>\n
the gentle earth<\/p>\n
will remember<\/p>\n
that you<\/p>\n
were one of the few<\/p>\n
that cared….<\/p>\n
