A Tree

Everywhere I look
I see
A tree
And I wish that
I wish it could be me
That tree
will always stand tall
It will not fall
An unmovable soul
rooted into the soil
So strong it is!
Unvawering in the strong winds
Defiance at its finest
No water can drown it!
No gun can bring it to death!
Only the strongest winds can make a dent!
In the times of peril
death and danger
The tree might be knocked down.
Is it over?
Is there no hope.
Oh!
But do not fear!
For it has spread it's seeds!
Nothing has ended,
Life will start a new!
Every tree that falls.
has left behind
something stronger
wiser
and greater than all
to take it's place!
When that tree has fallen
and will not again stand
it plants new roots,
and starts anew!
