Two Inches Off the Ground
A sprout,
a new beginning from the ground.
You give me hope, little sprout
because you'll go to grow
so much higher than the mountains
simply because you can
and you will.
Trust me, one day, you will.
Don't mind that you're smaller than everyone
or that sometimes you get camouflaged with the ground
or that even when you holler, no one hears a sound,
keep trying!
The effort is what counts, right?
Why don't people understand that we're trying, little sprout?
It's hard enough surviving when you feel so small
and you're two inches off the ground...
How?
How can they hear us?
Will we ever make a sound?
Trust me, that's the dream, little sprout.
To contribute to the world and grow so tall that
all of the earth can hear us!
One day, they will hear us, little sprout
because if we are going to be worth anything in the future,
we are worth something now,
even if we feel two inches from the ground.
Little sprout, we are worth something now,
so keep trying, little sprout.
We are worth something now.
