Next to the track beside our houses
Dad planted a gulmohar
We tended it,we waters it,
It wanted more and more.

When first it little shoots of green
spread across the boughs,
And some of us said 'wow'
It's branches very so low, we drove
the goats away and cows.

It really keeps us on our toes,
A baby _tree need a care!
Next year the green fuzz changed to leaf!
It turned into a red_roofed tree
A thing of beauty rare!

It never spoke to us of course.It just spoke joke to the winds,
And now and then waved to the skies
But it gave us everything

It's falling flowers and it's shade
They coverd half the track.
It sheltered us from sun and rain .
The Tree has paid us back.
