Plant a tree 

Grow a life

Hold a heart, a seed, 

A piece of something bigger than you

You can make a difference and change the world 

The seed will grow for years and years.

It will grow strong and tall, 

with limbs so thick and leaves so green.

My tree will have it all.

In summer we may have a picnic in its shade, 

Set on a lone countryside, the sun shines brightly.

A little toddler, in too-big garden gloves and dirtied overalls holds out a sapling. She kneels down and sets the sapling down …

Two years later

When Johnny first put that seed in the ground, when he first covered it with soil and gave it water, he had no idea how big it would become.
