Look At Them … Come To See <br />The Big, Tall, Wide, Redwood Tree <br />There It Stood, A Giant Among Men <br />And Tower Like The Power of Fertile Women <br /> <br />It Reaches Up, To Touch Earth’s Sky <br />Hear The Wind Whisper, As Its Leaves Sigh <br />Upon Mighty Branches, Like Arms Raised High <br />As Limb to Limb-Fingers, Link Its Brothers-By <br /> <br />It’s Solid … Hard, Sunlight-Charged <br />From One Little Seed, It Grew So Large <br />Maker … Please Preserve Its Precious Pulp and Skin <br />Keep False Profits and Progress, From Trespassing In <br /> <br />And It Can’t Move Away, From Some Dog, Who Pee <br />But That Same Dog, Will Die, Way Before That Tree <br />Some Forest Fire, May Blacken With Soot <br />But Ash Won’t Breach, Its Trunk, Nor Roots <br /> <br />It May Be Cut Down, by Blight or Lumberjacks <br />But, in 900 Years … It’ll Be Right Back <br />And Will Look At Those, Who Come To See … <br />The Big, Tall, Wide, Redwood Tree<br /><br />MoonBee Canady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-redwood-tree/
