Atop a precipice there stands a tree Amidst a large canvas of white and blue Below ships set sail on a tranquil sea Around it, a flock of albatross flew Coniferous tree, positioned on high God planted it there for the world to see Poignant green color complements the sky A hundred years old - and pretty, as can be Each limb aligned, each leaf sublime, Beautiful gift from God, for all to see --- Strong and mighty, until the end of time Symbol of life and immortality... Atop a precipice there stands a tree, Positioned on high for all to see!

Such are the trees that tell the most profound stories. I have "fav'd" this sonnet.

A beautiful poem that does justice to this gorgeous coniferous tree, that dares to thrive "where God planted it for the world to see".
