Something about a tree that welcomes me
and pulls me in with its majestic charms,
as graceful limbs reach out in joy- so free
to lure me close with gentle, giant arms
that sign with every breeze- I welcome thee.

Something about a tree that stands so tall
as branches rise above toward the sky,
that makes me feel its humbleness enthrall
as artful twists and curves so dignify
a stage for verdant, dancing leaves to sprawl.

Something about a tree that lifts my soul
while its enduring strength engulfs my heart.
Beside a tree, I feel God's safe control-
viewed in the mastery of nature's art. 
Something about a tree that makes me whole.

Nicely expressed sentiment, Sandra. Trees do seem to exude a sense of connection with themselves. // Barry
