DAILY GRATITUDE TREES

I am grateful for the trees…
my respect in life they’ve earned…
by teaching some of the many lessons
from nature I have learned.

From the trees I’ve learned to stand tall
and not be afraid to go out on a limb…
to bend in the wind…not break
even when the winds are grim..

I’ve learned to  be content with my own beauty…
to welcome any wrinkles that accrue
and always….whatever stage of growth I’m at…
to stop, 
look around…
