Sustenance
Though sun and rain sustain a tree
And coax it to maturity,
For humans that is not enough;
To grow, we need more complex stuff.
For we require the kind of care
And nurturing to help prepare
Us for the challenges we’ll face
When fortune slips from our embrace.
With luck, we’ll know within our core
That we are loved; with that in store,
Our sustenance will help us be
As tall and mighty as a tree.
