steadfast delicate

protector defiant soft

gently yew hold me

thuja, tree of life,

hues of evergreen, soft leaves

whispering secrets

Lovely Sequoia,

Reaching towards the heavens,

You stand a giant.

Admired by all

Behold the Mighty Giant

Embrace while you can

branches becoming

a fort made of spring-green leaves

green tears are falling

Oh, sweet maple tree

Your sap is the blood of Gods

Fall leaves color of fire

Limbs hanging tired,

Hundreds of years exist here,

Willow weeps for all.

Steadfast like the Oak,

The woodsman will earn his pay,

Threefold err I fall.

Logs, laced with pennies.

Stems, hanging on them is green.

Roots, growing these things.

Used to be in my

Backyard, has a papery

Trunk with memories
