I have been thinking about you recently, lately you have crossed my mind every time I see a particular little tree which I have watched over the years, it grows bigger and stronger as time goes by even though the sentiment has faded, for most. In early Spring I saw the buds pop above the lush green grass, the tree came to life. Throughout the Summer the large leaves caught every ray and breeze I'm sure the roots stretched for every drop of water, the tree lived. Fall came and the tree came into its full glory orange, red, yellow, brown when it caught the light OH! what a sight. Then the tree lost its leaves left a pile of questions and answers which the wind took away as time went on. The tree has taught me many lessons, lessons for life and spirit, consistency, reliability, security and Gods faith runs through the center of all of it. So I know the tree is not dead, and now that same faith grows in me. I am a tree! [This message has been edited by earthman (12-07-2002 07:23 PM).] |

Could the moderator please delete the other version of The Tree from the topics list, after helpful insight I realized it was too late for me to edit it, so decided to try and redo it. This seems better? |

First, I am excited to see so many new and talented poets joining this site and expressing their talents here and my friend you are for certain no exception.... Please make yourself at home here and know that you are most definitelyWelcome. Your poem is very inspirational. Nature is by far I believe to be God's most read and most easily understood book. Amen. I know that God refers to us as trees in His Word, but it is Wonderful to read that you have come to the conclusion that you are "a tree" first hand through your own personal observations of nature. What you have written here is true.... and you have even grown a bit here, as the tree grows, at this site as evidenced by your greater understanding of posting your poems... and yes, there are times when we do need to dig our roots down deep and reach for the Light.... Anyway, this is a wonderful poem and analogy of The Tree to humankind. Also, thank you for your kind response to my poem titled God's Lullaby. God bless. -Bob |

Welcome to the Forum and this certainly was a nice introduction of your work. I loved the tree being your comparative subject, great job. As requested, your first posting was deleted, and you have 24 hours in which to revise your poem. This looks great!  Season's Greetings from my home in Canada to yours!
