The gracious tree stands tall <br />blooms strung along her limbs. <br />Yet her trunk bows in gratitude! <br /> <br />The fully dressed tree <br />professes not to rank with <br />great poets of yore or now. <br />Yet humbly gives thanks <br />To all who enjoy fruits <br />From poet- tree. <br /> <br />Yet this little-known poet's <br />Shelf life liken's aged wine: <br />Expressions as free as birds <br />Sweet music when voice dies <br />fragrance to scentless roses, <br />effects the power of appreciation.<br /><br />Almedia Knight Oliver<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/appreciation-12/
