It's been awhile since I have written poetry but I read this to your Dad and he thinks I should quit my job and write poetry. We had a good laugh over that. I always wanted to be tall so this is my attempt to feel that way. :)
To BE
by Carolyn Miles
Sometimes I think I would like to be
As tall and stately as a tree.
To dig my roots down tall and deep,
And reach my branches tall and steep.
My limbs would harbor wildlife free
And overshadow the flower and bee.
There I would stand content to grow
As o'er the earth I slowly bow.
The ages would pass and I grow old.
My seed fly free but never told,
The wisdom of those who stay to wonder
Under my branches of greenly splendor.
Sometimes I would like to be
As tall and stately as a tree.
To dig my roots down tall and deep,
And reach my branches tall and steep.
Love, MOM
