LIKE A TREE

Like a tree

I was pushed

By wind

By hands

By ground

And sky

Some cuts

I caused

Many more

I didn’t

My roots

Almost died

Environment

Unkind

But like a tree

I bent

I swayed

I stood

And I grew

My roots

They searched

And searched

Found water

Found nutrition

And now I bloom

Beautiful flowers

I never even knew I had
