Tree
Rooted on fertile soil
My stance challenged by life's storm
Only my leave and fruit are spoiled
As my bark bites back at the wind like nothing
I wonder would I have survived it as a sampling
Floods worry me before resting
Then I remember that my family created foresting
Now soul is uplifted as I bask in the sun
My heritage goes deep
Nature is where my roots run
Sometimes mountain are steep
Who said my life is fun?
It took my year for me to be me
These are my thoughts as a tree.
