Honesty

Shades of a tree to shelter,
branches to swing on, 
fruits to pick up
at the right time.
Lights of a tree to paint
a nice picture to discover,
with its strong roots on the ground.
A humble tree waits for nothing, but honesty,
integrity of its roots,
trunk, branches, leaves 
and the balance.
Honest as a tree,
we should be by the years.
Standing up and fighting,
strong on the battle camp.
Watch the trees, they don't lie,
they don't fight, they don't argue.
They are always there, standing up forever with honesy.
