The tender plants of today
will one day cover the arid desert with
their fruits and flowers and leaves
Watering
them with the call of love,
we shall all protect them,
in rains and storm, in disease and in all calamity.
Oh tree, we are with you.
Let
this gray and arid earth be covered
with fresh green, let the desert thirst be
quenched. Let all the deserts of this universe
be filled with verdant beauty.
