I am a tree
April 14, 2009
I am a tree
Weathering wind, rain, and thunder
A little taller each time, for
What does not kill us only makes us stronger
I am green and young
Stretching upwards towards the sky
Reaching for what can never be attained
I am strong in my foundation
Roots reaching deep beneath the earth
Looking for life-giving water
I am covered in armor
A bark which protects me
Hiding the vulnerability within
I am a tree
Weathered, yet young
Strong, yet vulnerable
I am a tree

Go on and try to tear me down. I will be rising from the ground, like a skyscraper
