THE ROOTS

-Arjun.K.R.

The root is the parent of the plant

Which gave life to the plants

It blossoms the new flower’s

Life to leaves,fruits

It prevents the plant from falling

And some give life to the living

A bed,medicine

And give life to the nature

THE BEAUTY IN ROOTS

-Anirudh.K.P.

I Belong to the roots

I love to be with them

As a member by enjoying

The beauty of their dreams

The plants belong to them

The flower belongs to them

The precious water is their food

The sunlight is their energy

The roots wander for water

To recover the plant

But no one bothers it

Because it lives underneath

The soil with dirt

THE ONE WHO CAME BACK

-Nibras Roshan

A beggar was about in the town.Some generous men gave him some money and others chased him away.After getting some money,he went to a baker and brought some bread.He went to a lonely corner and began to eat his one day’s earn After food he began to dream.He saw himself living in luxury and eating lots of good food.But the poor man ate mud during his sleep.The beggar woke up and spat out the mud and waking up from that ‘good dream’ he went to the city,the place where the people were crowded.He managed to get to the middle of the crowd.Hesaw a large car.He put forth his hand to beg.The window went down.There was a handsome man inside.He understood the man in the car was the film star he saw in posters.his dreams rose.The star took out a thousand rupees note and kept it in the old man’s trembling hands.

“May god bless you son”The man smiled and replied,“That’s what I have been waiting to here for 15 years,father”.The doors of the car opened for him.

Tears fell from his eyes……………

His dream was about to come alive.

His son has come back to his roots.

TERABITIA

Once there was a small forest called Terabitia. There were all kinds of plants animals. Near that land there lived a poor man. His name was Pauland his wife was Mary. They had a son who is working in a place called Hollow land.Their son will sent money for them. Sometimes they get photographs also. One day Paul and Mary went to their son’s house in Hollow land. He was very happy to see them. He said that I am going to build you a house in Terabitia.

But against the son’s hope, their parent’s disagreed. They replied “We like our forest and our house”. They asked their son to come along. He went with them. He went to the river where Terabitia was situated. He liked the place much more than when he was a child. Now he went to the deep forest along with their parents. They saw many magical things there. They saw animals dancing and singing. Then they saw a big tree whose root was very big. Then he understood that his parents are his roots and he is the fruit. They lived happily ever after.

SEARCHING FOR THE ROOTS NOW

-Arun .m

I was born among the flowers

I searched for the new ones long and long

I found it different beautiful ones

I thought flowers were the best

But I think where was it’s orgin

I laid to search for it now

I found it, the roots

I lived among it

Now I say, I like to live among the roots

More than the flower!

Roots,Roots gift of plants

They are the help to get

Water to plants

FLOWER AND ROOTS

-Abhishek.E

I am the flower
My parents are the roots
For me only my parents are flowers
For my grand parents
Root is the brain of life
It controls the life
The root is strong
They made us.
By the power of roots
The flower is living
If one flower is gone
From a plant
Nothing will happen
But if the root is gone
The plant is gone.
I am not telling about the plant
But about the whole world
