Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

I Am a Tree

I am a tree
Sturdy and strong
I am as glorious as can be
I have to cope with
Pain and strain
From extreme heat
To torrential rain
I am very well aware 
Of the need for
Love and care
Seasons change
So do I
Just like humans
I will die
But before this happens to me
I spread my branches
Out to thee
So you can all
Have a gander
I am a magnificent
JACARANDA
