Lesson from a Tree (Poetry)

I close my eyes
Spread my arms
And imagine I were a tree

I stand strong
Unshaken
Rooted by my belief

I obey nature
And then I nurture
All with equality

I prefer fertile land
Like good friends
To grow to live and give

I avoid barren desert
Like bad company
Thorny cactus teaches me this
