arms stretching toward the sky
patterned for what i should do
and rules i should live by

You reach up for your nourishment
to touch the rays of sun
I should be reaching for my God
to know of his dear son

You give your shade to those that pass
to cool them on hot days
You lend your arms to the bird with chicks
to make a nest to lay

You let the squirrel without a home
make one with in your trunk
And though you're scarred and burdened
you''re never in a funk

I''m glad you''re an example
of what endurance should be
When e've I look at you old tree
I know how i should be. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 254 [topic] => 34 [informant] => Archie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Old Tree of so Many Years

Old tree of so many years
arms stretching toward the sky
patterned for what i should do
and rules i should live by

You reach up for your nourishment
to touch the rays of sun
I should be reaching for my God
to know of his dear son

You give your shade to those that pass
to cool them on hot days
You lend your arms to the bird with chicks
to make a nest to lay

You let the squirrel without a home
make one with in your trunk
And though you're scarred and burdened
you''re never in a funk

I''m glad you''re an example
of what endurance should be
When e've I look at you old tree
I know how i should be.

I will never look at a tree the same way again.
Beautiful and thought provoking. Very moving. I enjoyed it very much. Excellence~

Okay. I'm just about berserk with awe of your writin'. As I've flowed along in your posts I perceived a title to a collection of your works called, Tapestries Of Thoughtfulness. Just done six of yer poems, though. Got more to go.
