Stand Tall Like Tree

Slender sapling sprouts slow from sub-soil seed Trembles gently in the wake of the bracing breeze Anastomosing branches flutter like verdant wings Nascent leaves look up to the rising sun of promise Drenching them with luster of new life of the future. Turning seasons bring rain and shine to nourish After enduring drought and chill it goes up towering Leaves the canopy of the neighbors far down below Lured by the thin air of heightened transient pride. Looked after long by the nurturing gardener Infusing love and care it needed to grow taller Keen to reach the blue of sky with green arms Encasing lofty dreams in the lengthening trunk. Towering tree in life rising high if you aspire to be Remember with strong roots on ground stand firmly Even if you try to catch dreams in the fleeting cloud Else in the surge of rainstorm uprooted you will fall.
