"I learned something new today,"
said little Suzie in her way.
With new knowledge up she grew
and pretty soon a flower bloomed.
"I am so tall I look like new
perhaps I am now one in few!"
But all around her sure as light
she spotted others with like height.
Bobby, Christy, Brett, and Jo
all near beside her chose to grow
petals raised their new leaves sprout.
and, Suzie sighed with one long pout.
"Can't I grow all on my own?
Can't others leave me here alone?"
Suzie turned her face away
and focused then on other things.
But suddenly she saw anew
she turned around where others grew
and called to them her knowing now
that growing 'lone would shrink her down.
To gather all the light she could
she needed others each who would
be willing to bend just a smidge
to let her food through light's passage.
Her in humble heart drew close
embracing friends that once were foes
and thanking God for change of heart
which begged her learn from others' smarts.
"I learned something new today,"
said little Suzie in her way.
She was so proud with her friends
in this good place the story ends.
