Old Tree

You have tolerated big storms, you remain imposing after the winds. You seem weak in the fire then the nature gives you another opportunity. You sleep every winter but you grow every spring. Your branches go up to the sky and your trunk looks like a giant. How old are you? Nobody knows. How many battles have you seen? Nobody can count them. You live the History and see our mistakes. Always… the same mistakes.
