THE LEARNING TREE : RHYME 52

There grows the learning tree

Grand and lush green

And offers fruit and shade

Day out, day in.

With fruit sweetest and shade

Coolest and clean,

There grows the learning tree

Grand and lush green. 

There grows the learning tree,

One at a place 

And offers wind and smell

To all endless. 

With wind balmiest, smell

Sweetest and fresh,

There grows the learning tree

One at a place. 

There grows the learning tree

Secure and strong,

As the home of human beings,

It has stood long.

With knowledge, peace, progress,

Love, joys along,

There grows the learning tree

Secure and strong. 

Mama grows the learning tree -

One inside her

And everyday tends it with

Much love and care.

With love deepest and care

Most committed for,

Mama grows the learning tree

One inside her.

There grows the learning tree

With Mama's age,

Her farming of values, skills,

Strength and knowledge,

To offer wind, smell, fruit, 

And ageless foliage,

There grows the learning tree

With Mama's age...
