The Powerful Cedar

As I walk home from the drama,
I enter my space free of trauma,
The green Lebanese cedar tree,
Rising above all and standing like a soldier above me,
With all the power and all the might,
My tree will protect and fight,
With layers of gloom keeping the sun at bay,
And sacred branches which never bloom or fade away
Ruling the area and representing
The powerful people of Lebanon ascending,
Endurance, eternity and endlessness,
Symbolised by the tree of happiness,
Joy, steadiness and prosperity,
All shared by the country’s immortality,
The cedar will stand tall
Ready and open for all.
