I Wish I Knew

I wish I knew how acorns grew

Into a mighty oak,

But I’ve no clue and nor do you

Nor any other folk.


For certain seeds fulfill their needs

Yet take so long to grow

That, unlike weeds, our human speeds 

Of life are much too slow.


We might take heart and see how smart

Are seedlings as they sprout,

But we’ll depart before they start

Their skyward branching out.
