The tender plants of today
will one day cover the arid desert
with their fruits, flowers and leaves.

Watering them with the call of love,
we shall all protect them,
in rains and storms,
in disease and in calamity.
O tree, we are with You.

Let this grey and arid earth
be covered with fresh greenness.
Let the desert thirst be quenched.
Let all the deserts of this universe
be filled with verdant beauty.
