The Legacy of Trees

To the divinity within all of us The wind blows outside my window Reeling mercilessly against the trees. Its power deployed, their will to destroy And I can hear them yell in rebellion. Daring the wind to try with all its might Had gone there before, they know the score. They know the fury the wind can carry Whatever is in store, they cannot ignore. They stand out, proud, arms stretched out Bonded are their souls, holding the same goal. Their unity, a fortress that found no distress They would face this trial as they did those prior. It was their legacy born in tenacity From the beginning, it was God given. So that man would come to understand The extent of his God given potential. To walk his way through life's hills and valleys Building character, until he is one in heart with the Creator. By CarolineCécile Copyright © 6/1/10.

Being "one...with the Creator" is how I, too, envision or trek through life. This is so spiritually uplifting, Caroline, just what I expect from one of my favorites! Love, Carolyn
