A seed’s shell cracks
A rootlet emerges
Searching for moisture
And the elements of life
Two leaves reach up to the sun
So begins another life
To grow, to survive
Through good times and bad
To endure all that comes it way
To flower, to set seed
For that’s what life does
Beautiful!
Now that’s what I like about old trees and old men. We might look all haggard and worn but, sure as anything ,we got character.
I agree age offers character in both tree and people
Thanks
To me, this tree looks like a deer with antlers that have gone awry. 😉
