If only we could learn a lesson

from the sapling growing between rocks and soil

or the dandelion blooming between concrete

Aren't they small?

at first glance, insignificant?

And yet they persevere

through the concrete,

the rugged earth

the elements given to them

and soar towards the sky

If only we could see our own capabilities

our true potential

Because even though we are small and fragile

like the sapling and dandelion

Often we forget how brave we really are

How strong we really can be

We are not as insignificant as we might think

The sapling and dandelion know no insignificance

They just grow

Perhaps we should take that as a lesson

and give life what we've got

and grow towards our goals

Just like the sapling and dandelion
