A Tree's Hope

My coat surrounds me, 

trapping me in. 

But I need to fly, 

spread my wings so high in the sky, 

breathe the fresh air and grow like a tower, 

sprout out of the ground so no soil is in sight, 

I have come from down under, but I will grow to be huge. 

My journey will be long and hard, 

but my spirit will drive me,  

and I will end up with the others. 

I won’t be stuck under the dirt, 

my days of being insignificant and isolated will end, 

I will be a home and breathe life to all. 

For me to die all the world would follow, 

I will last forever, 

never perish, 

instead thrive, helping all life, 

I will be happiness, calm, and life, 

I will be a tree.
