Conversation to an Acorn
Even though you wear a cap, eventually you become dark brown,
You bounce and roll when you fall, like a clown tumbling
down,
You may be small and overlooked by others, but I am fond of you,
You are important to everyone, if they only knew,
Small in size, but when you grow, you become a towering
giant,
Then you are strong and branching out, so magnificent and reliant,
Squirrels gather up their winter supply, as other animals
do,
Acorn, as you may have guessed, I am speaking about
you,
The leaf-covered ground below my feet is your perfect
destiny,
It is there you will root and grow yourself into a large oak
tree!
