She stands so tall so proud
branches swaying in the wind
She stands so tall so proud
never telling where she’s been
She stands so tall so proud
always doing never being
She stands so tall so proud
always running never seeing
She stands so tall so proud
no complaints never notices
She stands so tall so proud
tiny cracks giant crevices
She stands so tall so proud
always helping never ends
She stands so tall so proud
always loving best of friends
Gale force winds do blow
watch the tree begin to lean
It won’t impede her path
what is not known can not be seen
She stands so tall so proud
amazing strength from deep inside
She stands so tall so proud
once you bare it’s hard to hide
She stands so tall and weeps
I blink my eyes can it be true
So;
I stand so tall so proud
and I become a tree for you
Blessitude

Yes Julie! That would be so wonderful! 🙂
What a lovely poem with a picture to match.
Thanks so much! I love when it comes together. The poem was written a while ago and when I took this picture the other day I knew they were meant for each other. 🙂
Oh, I love this! Trees have always been a real symbol of strength to me. Very nice poem sweet Lorrie and seeing the picture has gotten my day off to a good start. Reminded me that…I can do it! Hugs
