She stands alone, both tall and true
the perfect picture of solitude
the soul of a woman encased in the bark
with limbs that move in a majestic arc
alone she faced the storms of life
others gave up, but no, not she
and there she stands for all to see
she's had her share of troubles and woes
but she made it through
and still she grows
like her i too know grief and pain
i've faced the wind
i've felt the rain
and like her too
i still stand tall
though life may beat me
i will not fall
it may throw punches
i will take a blow
but in the end
i too, shall grow
each storm i weather increases my strength
and beneath this skin
my soul to thank
the elm and i
we know what to do
we count on ourselves
and make it through

This was...would have to the best poem I have read, I loved the way it flowed, and the images were........felt so vividly real like I could see the elm swaying in the wind.....tall strong and proud......full of life.
Defienitly one of my favourites.
Awesome poem loved it. |
