Palm: a tree's story

Who doesn't love a palm tree?
Who doesn't love a coconut?
Their story starts just as a seed,
a tiny seed, but with great potential.
Nobody really cares,
about the life of a palm tree.
Or so people think.
On the contrary I care for palm trees very much.
If I was a tree,
I would like to be of the palm variety.
In my opinion,
They are the best they come.
Sad, don't you think,
That they don't grow here.
