Damage

Damage


Like any tree
Broken by storm
Will grow again 
Anew
Into other branches
And other reaches
But never again
To be
The originally
Conceived
Full grown
Tree

Like any child
Damaged by storms
Will grow again
A new
Into other pathways
And other destinies
But never again
To be
The originally
Conceived
Full grown
Human

Sharon Winter Date: 5/22/2009 12:48:00 PM The unexpected and often unwanted obstacles of our journey eventually change us all. I like to think for the better. I don't believe that, however, I do believe there is good and bad to most situations, but it takes a while to see the good. Your writes are so serious. I am already depressed today. Hey, I have an idea. Can you write a funny poem??? : ) Bet it would be awesome. Everything you write is. Big hugs, Shar xoxo Login to Reply
