Maple Tree

A fine maple tree, Courageously
Stands in the meadow, Beautifully
With great dignity, Impressively

In spring, emerging from its sleep
In summer, spreading its branches
In fall, displaying all its glory

A seedling full-grown, Glamorously
God’s great workmanship, Marvelously
Poetic beauty, Breathtakingly

O maple tree in your awesomeness
Artistic wonder of splendid beauty
A poetic metaphor in seasonal dress

A good lesson from the Maple Tree
That begs to transform both you and me
To live out our years, dutifully

O, for a moving of The Wind
That brings a freshness to life and
Awes the Maker of the Maple Tree

A nice poem dedicated to a maple tree. I also praised a tree in poem, that being the Dogwood tree. Trees do seem divine. I liked this poem and it's rhyme.
