Just stand tall

 Shakily , I painted Prussian blue 

Instantly , I knew

 it was not the right hue 

Where to learn? From who? 


In the absence of tutors 

Teachers and mentors 

To read no memoirs 

I taught myself the colors 


I looked up the sky 

I saw the birds fly 

I stared at the leaves try 

To speak to me and cry 


Of their highs and lows

Of their hates and loves 

Whether  On or off 

Their parental bough 


There they were with all others 

Resplendent in million colours 

The blues , the greens , the ochres 

Verdant and lush , acres 


They taught me a lesson

That in nature was so common 

Whether you are big or small 

It's just important to stand tall 


That is about all 

That is it all 

Just stand tall 

Proud and tall .
