The Wind Can't Break Me
March 14, 2021
A minor seed begins its journey, starting from the ground,
Bringing its fresh green leaves out from the earth.
It breathes the newly felt air and soaks in the hot summer sun.
As the days go by,
The mighty wind begins to frustrate the vulnerable sprout.
Losing its confident shape as the wind pushes it carelessly.
After twisting and bending to the ways of the hurtful gusts,
The newly developed stem grows to defend against its dominant competitor.
Its recently gained strength keep its leaves held up high,
Even against the most powerful blows.
