Here is a tribute to a little plant,
That I potted on a rainy day.
I was walking by and I saw,
A plant species unknown.
The flower was great to look at,
And I thought why not pot it?
Should we only plant known species?
why not wilderness too?
Next day I walked with a poker in hand.
I dug it up and carried it home,
This sweet little unknown plant.
It had its place,it had its manure,
And my hope that it will flower again.
Yes it is seasonal rain now.
I look at this pot with its unknown plant.
Is something sprouting?Or has it died?
For a week I was not home.
I came back and was busy too.
One day I saw this pot of mine ,
And Lo!! the plant has come up,
strong and straight.
The buds are there too and so were the flowers.
Here is to the unknown buds and leaves that makes our day.
Jayamala.
