Poems Think Like a Tree by Karen I. Shragg Soak up the sunAffirm life's magicBe graceful in the windStand tall after a stormFeel refreshed after it rainsGrow strong without noticeBe prepared for each seasonProvide shelter to strangersHang tough through a cold spellEmerge renewed at the first signs of springStay deeply rooted while reaching for the skyBe still long enough tohear your own leaves rustling.
Poems The Tree By Tom Splitt The calm quiet strength of a tree Anchored deep in the earth Reaching high in the sky The calm quiet strength of a tree The calm quiet strength of a tree Full of life from its roots To the tiniest branch The calm quiet strength of a tree And oh, how it comforts me How it teaches me Without a sound Then I realize at once That this tree and I are one In eternity The calm quiet strength of a tree From the weight of its trunk To its delicate leaves The calm quiet strength of a tree The calm quiet strength of a tree Showing anyone near All the secrets of time The calm quiet strength of a tree

Poems Waiting for a Message by Rochelle Mass Trees help you see slices of sky between branches,point to things you could never reach.Trees help you watch the growing happen,watch blossoms burst then dry,see shade twist to the pace of a sun,birds tear at unwilling seeds. Trees take the eye to where it is,where it was,then over to distant hills,faraway to other places and times,long ago. A tree is a lens,a viewfinder, a window.I wait belowfor a messageof what is yet to come.
