In Order for Us Like a Tree to Grow

In order for us, like a tree, to grow
Tall, straight, and round
There are many concepts we should know
To branch out full and sound

First, we need our own space
With nutrients in rich supply
Then we need to set a pace
To drink in and apply

Each branch of knowledge that buds out
Will keep us from bending low
And raise us to reach more about
As the winds of change yet flow
