kids Rhyme - Little by little

"Little by little." an acorn said.
As it slowly sank in its mossy bed;
"I am improving every day.
Hidden deep in the earth away."
Little by little each day it grew.
Little by little the sipped the dew.

Downward it sent out a thread-like root

up in the air sprang a tiny shoot:
Day by day, and year by year,
little by little the leaves appear.
And the slender branches spread far and wide
Till the mighty oak is the forest's pride.
