The Forgotten Treasure

Contributor: Kavitha Yarlagadda

I spread my roots to be strong
I grow tall and big to live long
I grow fruits and flowers to nourish you
Oh let me love, let me live

I give you shelter, I give you a home
I protect you from sun, rain and pollution
You sit, sleep and work on me
Oh let me love, let me live

I am your stationery, your security at home
I give you fresh air, I give you food
I decorate your city with greenery
Oh let me love, let me live

I give you respite from the sweltering heat
I spread the green cover to give you rainfall
I fill all water bodies and quench your thirst
Oh let me love, let me live
