Growing together As an acorn exists in a hard shell with only one seed to give, It falls from a tree so it will continue to live, It moves and shakes; the seed begins to crack its shell Stronger and stronger it becomes until a root begins to swell Its arms and hands reaching into the darkness looking for light It struggles to survive, to find its path, to take flight Something strong and durable begins to form A backbone that would hold up to a storm Never does it stop growing and feeding from the earth The sun, rain and air gives it, its worth Tall in the sky, it commands individuality, To be different and unique to reach its final destiny From its trunk it begins to spread Reaching outward and overhead Each finger holding knowledge With every stem connecting to foliage Green and spiraled they sway in the wind Lush in leaves the tree is fully brimmed Each timber different from its neighbor Yet they stand together protecting each other As a community they grown and flourish Sharing their wisdom to further nourish One another in every forest, everywhere As each species has something to share Then a bleak wind fills the air And the leaves hold on unaware The elements bring on new changes And slows down the ancestors exchanges The trees start to loose their petals And the color transforms into many freckles As the cold strengthens and the air begins to sting The branches loose their leaves and sleeps until spring Its age begins to show and now the time has come For the oak to drop its seed and to succumb For the acorn will reproduce Another tree with new roots Lisa Pinto
