Think of the Trees

I wonder

have you ever thought about a tree?

the roots that travel deep into the dirt

holding secrets

the trunk that stands firm

keeping it safe when the wind

tries to blow it down

the branches and leaves that sway

free

unbothered

making it beautiful

making it unique

making it special

have you ever thought about a tree?

the hundreds of years of

pain

peace

persistence

everything it’s overcoming

everything it overcame

you might have thought about a tree

but I wonder

have you ever thought about me?
