The Sycamore Tree

I was born to breathe free, outdoors count my rings and you will know how old I am I come from a family of sycamores I own a massive trunk when eagles soar they perch upon my branch they do yes mam although my roots run deep inside the floor I am durable with growth you can't ignore my peels are white, tan and green dear Sam adaptable in most soils I outlive the albacore I prefer direct sun and in Egyptian folklore I am also known as the Holy Tree of man connecting both worlds now forevermore Often found by river beds by open shore my bulk is sensitive without sham I was born to breathe free, outdoors I come from a family of sycamores Sept 2, 2022

Hi Vie. There are lots of sycamores in Texas :) They are lovely to look at from the ground (as your pic shows). I think I might go lie in the grass under one today :) Linda
