The Tree by Rebecca Scarf (for Joe 14/11/11)

How strong you are, just like the tree,
standing still to take in all that you can see.
The tree lays down some very strong roots,
but can travel when it makes new shoots,
the tree does know when it's time to shift,
to show somewhere else it's gift.
The trunk is firm and unable to bend,
but it is strong and able to mend.
Be careful of that strong cold breeze,
that gets in underneath your leaves.
Even the tree can become restless,
when the leaves fall all around in a mess.
Stripped back and left so bare,
too proud to admit he's running scared.
In this life your lessons helped you grow,
but in the forest no tree stands alone.
