The Tree

Annemarie

The Tree

Being

Rooted deeply into the earth

Standing tall and mighty 

Sitting, unmoved by surroundings 

Bending with the winds of change 

Providing

Shelter through harsh winters

Shade through bright sunny days

Essential oils to heal and restore 

Fire for humanity 

Branches, like arms to support and uplift those needing rest

Oxygen

Breath for all living creatures 

Fruit so sweet, helpful and refreshing 

Adapting to the seasons 

Paper and pencil for the poet

Inspiration for those in their presence 

The tree

We can be like the tree
