Trials, Tribulations and Success

Torrents of misfortune,
gushing troubles,
as the little shoot
emerging amidst
the slush on earth
struggles
to remain
in the reckoning.

Sometimes transplanted,
flowing with
destiny,
it faces
life with a smile,
the shoot now a
young tree.



Powering its leaves,
nurturing fruits,
a haven
for nesting birds
and climbing children
arms outstretched,
she thanks the
One Up There
for this wonderful land.

Bent by storms,
Swirled by winds,
Feet
sometimes
swayed by currents,
strong
enough to doubt...

A tough and troubled
time
faced with a
thought,
not of the fruit,
but of growth;
Today,
a spring morning,
no blues of mind,
she clutches
the green around her,
and blooms
happily with her flowers,
now a
Successful Tree of the World!
