Tagore and Me

By Tagore:

The man who plants trees,
knowing that he will
never sit in their shade,
has at least started to understand
the meaning of life.

By Me:

In people-ese,
build up the young,
give them strength,
self-esteem and courage,
realistic preparation
yet wild imaginations,
bravery and a voice.
You may never witness
the amazing things they do,
but you've created a ripple
that cannot be stopped.
