Trees: Poem

  

Trees

Being challenged in life

Is inevitable and predictable.

Trees are unexpectable

And not apologetic.

Trees are not for decorations.

Trees are our teachers and protectors.

Trees are warriors.

They battle weather and storms,

And continue to grow

Under and over

Concrete, dirt, and soil.

Trees teach tremendous resilience,

Even connection

As each branch supports

And embraces amazing energy

At any emergency.

Do not worship the trees,

Trees are just trees,

No more, or less.

Trees are not decorations

They need human protection

And even preservation,

Conservation,

All the salvation.

Being challenged

In life inevitable,

Being defeated

Is optional.
