Green Dots

Just yesterday 

I happened to notice

In my backyard,

Two dots of green

On a discarded 

Broken plate

With some mud

Clinging to it still.

Curious to know

What those dots were,

I bent down to see.

Two tiny green leaves

Had sprouted in mud.

Strange how things

Grow with determination 

Anywhere and everywhere

With a strong will and skill.

Whenever I look at the green

In my country's flag,

I remember always the dots

That made a point.

Green is for growth and grit.

If you are sure you can do it.
