Fuelled

This was a lovely poem which I came across in my class 6 textbook. I wonder if any of you know this poem? I have tried long and in vain to search for it but haven't. Do let me know if you can find it anywhere. I'm a bit fuzzy about how exactly it went, but to the best of my memory it was something like this:

Fuelled

Fuelled by a million,
With the hopes of mankind,
Gallons of fuel,
and the will and efforts of counless people,
the rocket soared into space,
And everyone cheered and clapped
"Against the odds and against gravity"

Fuelled
By the will of nature,
With the aim of bursting forth and seeing the sun,
With the magic that is called life,
the tiny sapling emerged from its seed,
through the mud and soil it pushed its way,
Into the sunlight, and recieved the first rays of the sun ...


... and no one even noticed.
