Evergreens

Evergreens, evergreens standing tall; displaying manifest beauty with every branch and leaf in place. Oh, what tales you could tell if you were to speak; tales of the ever-present danger you have endured. Perhaps you would tell how you adapt to changing seasons, or if you ever counted dew drops falling to the ground. Would you ever mention how many battles you fought to hold that ground? Evergreens, evergreens strong and steadfast in your resolve; through stormy weather, blazing heat and dewless nights, you stand; gleaning strength from your immovable conviction. With boughs reaching out to others skyward bound; off limits to those close to the ground. You cover them, over shadow them, so they will have a chance to grow. Evergreens, evergreens, forever rendering aid to those new to the battles you have endured; giving them strength to withstand a breach.
