Rev. Catherine Cassell Poet Rhyme

Do Not Forsake Me, An Interview With a Dying Tree

Don’t Forsake Me
An interview with a dying tree.

Annie Willow entered my office,
It surprised all of us.

At first glance,
You might think she had no chance.

I inquired to what she would bring,
Something to add, something with zing.

Her wilted leaves and branches,
Just cleared our expansions.

She spoke clear and concise,
I had to think twice.

Years of nurturing and encouraging
My sprouts to grow, is how I learned what I know.

I am great supervisor, A revolutionist,
Working and mentoring I do to subsist.

My credentials speak for me, 
Even if I am a dying tree.
