Once upon a time there stood a wall
The wall had a crack which was only small
Into that crack a seed did fall
But would that seed ever grow at all?
The seed got damp and swelled and split
It squeezed out a root which wiggled a bit
Worming its way down deep in the black
The seed had started to grow in the crack.
Next came a shoot, striving for light
It pushed out of the black and into the bright
Buds started to form on the left and the right
Miniature leaves curled up very tight.
The leaves unfurled a little each day
And the shoot grew on in its slow, small way
The roots became thicker and longer and more
And the plant grew stronger each day than before.
The plant made flowers to attract the bees
And when pollinated the flowers made seeds
The seeds became ripe and started to fall
And one seed landed in a crack in the wall...
