Oh, little tree, emerging strong
From the heart of that ancient stump
You defy the odds, you carry on
A symbol of life, a triumphant jump
You are not a requiem, nor a prophet
You are simply a testament to resilience
A reminder that life persists, despite
The looming shadows of death\'s influence
You are a fractal branch, a reflection
Of the same relentless spirit that drives us
To rise from the depths of the ocean
To create, to build, to conquer, to trust
In your humble existence, we find
A mirror of our own journey, our own fight
To endure, to grow, to reach for the sky
And to claim our place in the grand design
So, little tree, continue to stand tall
A beacon of hope, a symbol of strength
For in your quiet presence, we recall
What it means to embrace life at any length. (\"Little Tree\") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
