Jacaranda Tree

Your branches grow tall and wide, reaching up as if to touch the sky.
Your fine leaves grow in small fronds, covering your whole body like a cloak.
Your purple flowers fall, creating a lavender carpet covering the ground, a magical veil over the earth.
Your roots span deep and wide, like the streets of a busy city, with thousands of highways, footpaths and alleyways.
Your body is strong and stable, like the pillars of an ancient temple, standing for years on end.
You provide a home for many, and shade for many too.
Your sweet smelling flowers are a sight of wonder and awe, full of sweet nectar to feed countless birds and insects.
You stand tall on the earth, like a king in his throne for all to admire
