I grew a tree one day. Why I did, I couldn't say. <br />It's tree trunk reminded me of my own strength. <br />This tree's leaves were colored green. <br />They reminded me of the profusion of my hair. <br />Mostly, this tree didn't crack when a storm hit it, <br />But swirled around it's trunk. <br />My tree was me.<br /><br />Vera Sidhwa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-grew-a-tree/
