THE CHERRY TREE

In winter , There was a small cherry seed🌱,

Which got 2 new twigs in Spring.

After 2 - 3 months in monsoon,

It was 2 feet high little bit.

But a hungry goat came🐐,

And ate the leaves of it.

Now, only the main stem,

And 2 thin branches were left.

At the end of monsoon🌧,

New leaves grew again.

But a woman came👩,

And cut it into half.

Now only 2 branches were left.

A fresh summer morning🌅,

New leaves grew again.

A hungry caterpillar came🐛.

And ate some flowers of it🌸.

Across 1 year passed,

It was the month of Feb,

It was the time of winter there.

There was a lot of snow🏔,

Because of the weight of snow,

The tree bent very low.

Some days later in February,

The tree grew tall,

In which, Got stuck my cricket ball🏏.

The pink blossom was at the

End of the branch.

The squirrels came for the picnic,

With some nuts to crunch and munch🌰.

Same year's Summer,

The cherry tree had more blossoms,

And became more taller.

Even older than other trees near,

So now no fear.

Blossoms came and went away,

But the tree still kept blossoming.

Small 4 sour cherries came🍒,

This was only the cherry tree's aim.

A few days later in a,

warm sunny afternoon,

One more cherry tree had grown,

In such a way.
