Sweet Tree

Is it so

Can it be?

Am I finally feeling

Back to me?

Did I shake the dirt off

To realize that I too can stand tall

Like a tree

Did I have to dig deep

To find my roots

To discover where they began

To see where they lead

Did I have to go out on every limb

Reaching my hand out

Just to see

Yes I did.

Like spreading my wings.

Because that is the last step for a tree

To learn how to change

Only its leaves
