Character

a sapling i'm not

too many years gone

i've braced against winds

and braved many storms

my leaves have dried

been scattered about

i've learned to adapt

to dig my roots deep

i've twisted around

to reach the light

and though i don't stand

straight and tall

i am unique

and my character strong

I love trees. I love how every tree tells it's own story.  My favorite trees are the ones that are twisted and spread out.  They truly speak to the individual strength and determination of the tree.

People are much the same.  Are any of us really normal?  Are any of us untouched by the events of our life?  I would venture to say that we are all a bit twisted like the trees.  Doesn't it make life grand?
