I stand tall and true
A symbol of ancient past
Underneath an umbrella blue
A monolith that will last
My skin showing
the scars
Arms twisted and bent
Towering beneath the stars
Patiently time is spent
Alone and quiet I weep
Hair turns slowly to brown
My roots are buried deep
Life's essence drawn to crown
But, when at last I fall
Felled by hand of man
Clearing springs back tall
A pattern of the plan
My body for
a home
My fruit to sustain
My children live on
Life's legacy remain
