The Fig and The Leaf

Once there was a fig
Planted in the ground
It grew a leaf and then a stem
About a quarter inch around.

‍

The root system kept growing. 
Sun was plentiful.
The little tree kept growing 
Like spring so duty full

Then it grew a few figs 
And gave all the food to them
Didn’t grow any leaves 
From root up through the stem.

The roots still had room to grow 
Leaves pushing to the light
They pushed a new plant through the ground
Much to their delight.
