Some people are like trees <br />or so it seems <br />if you get what I mean. <br /> <br />Some are strong as an oak. <br />Some live as long as redwoods <br /> bending with the wind. <br />Some like sugar maples <br /> snap with a gust of wind. <br /> <br />A few people are like some other trees. <br />Think about the crab apple tree <br />and you will see what I mean. <br /> <br />Some weep like a willow; <br />Some all peaches and cream. <br />Then there are the pear, apple, prune and plum. <br /> <br />A prune is just a plum. <br />What’s a fig without a leaf? <br />Some need that fig leaf to cover their blushing cheeks. <br />Some choose the elm. <br />No need to go to extremes. <br />Of that I wouldn’t dream <br />even though I know some people are like some other trees.<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-people-are-like-trees/
