Me and the Tree

I look at this tree- which quite frankly reminds me of me. Strong, firm, flows so beautifully. My moods are like the leaves- forever changing so colorfully. At times my hearts feels like, after the coldest winter for a tree . and it takes timefor me to rebuild my beauty. It can flow as gently as the leaves... during a strong summer's breeze. With the nuturing care of God's hands and his air, I survive with all the obstacles God gives... I'm strong and firm, my skins like bark it relives. But... their is one thing that is different; between me and tree. and that's the tree is guaranteed to out live me.

Stepheney, your poetry is very empowering, which is a very special gift. One we can never walk away from, not that we would ever want to. Our poetry is to our hearts like the tide is to the ocean. I think you will be a wonderful gift to us all, mj
