A Tree Sways

Seed 
Buried 
Roots grow deep 
A stem sprouts 
Little green leaves grow 
Flowers of hues blossom 

Surviving harsh seasons
Through months, years, decades 
From the lone seed 
Standing tall 
A tree 
Sways

isn't it amazing that from a wee seed comes a giant tree? From a wee poem comes a great truth. Thankyou. I enjoyed this poem.

Hello Charles Messina, wow! It is lovely to watch the trees sway when the winds blows. The trees sways to the beat of the tune. Enjoy your evening my friend.
