Finding Home

A proud tree’s branches reaching up, out and wide In the sun’s golden glow warm and bright Will quickly fall ill and not long abide When deprived of its brilliant sunlight A graceful tree thriving in sequestered shade So tranquil, at peace and composed Will promptly wilt and shrivel and fade When to stark sunlight it’s harshly exposed Some of us tend toward the loud, warm, and bright Others, drawn toward hushed contemplation Which path is wrong and which path is right? It’s our choice and our destination Here’s to friends, peace, and another poem And may we find the true bliss that calls us home
