I planted a seed in your garden that night, i sat and excitedly watched it grow.It was such a joy to watch it from the beginning, to see the tiny bud sprouting out from the soil. Filling me with such exhiliaration.Everyday I religiously watered it with care and protected it from cunning weeds.Day by day, I watched it grow, very soon i saw leaves appearing. I felt like a proud mother, as my child begin to mature.
However, I soon grew tired and weary. I begin to see gardening as such a chore and i regretted my decision.Why did i plant this seed to begin with? The plant was hardly even growing, it felt like a waste of effort. I stopped visiting your garden.
One afternoon, I happened to pass by your garden and i saw the plant that i have cared for so lovingly, dead.I pushed open the gate and walked hurriedly towards it. My heart pounded furiously and tears welled up in my eyes. "How could i have been so selfish", i thought. I fell at the foot of the wilted plant and it was there, i wept tears of shame.
It was then that i only found the answer to the question i had. I planted this tree for us to take shade from the sun. I planted this tree for us to enjoy its sweet fruits. I planted this tree to show you my love.
