Hardbarked
By David A
Hardly scathed by anything
Resilient and ambitious
The ironbarks grow tough and tall
Through the canopy
Persisting through storm and wind
Undeterred by loss of branches
The ironbarks grow tough and tall
Through the canopy
Endangered, but mighty,
The ironbarks fight
Sturdy and perseverant,
The ironbarks live on
And grow through the canopy
