Poem: A Spike of Green - Barbara Baker

I've lways loved this. It's neat - something so simple as seed in a pot of soil, yet so profound at the same time. It's all perspective!

A Spike of Green
by Barbara Baker

When I went out
The sun was hot
It shone upon
My flower pot

And there I saw
A spike of green
That no one else
Had ever seen!

On other days
The things I see
Are mostly old
Except for me.

But this green spike
So new and small
Had never yet
Been seen at all!
