"Abandoned Tree "

 

Through eyes of the beholder

Standing strong

Like an “angel”

Calling out for mercy from above

 

Oh’ dear Lord!

Please don’t take me down

For ashes I would be

Like those next to me

 

She came to rescue me

And with tear-filled eyes

She looked at me…and took a vow

Decided to capture me

 

Now forever I will be

Upon the canvas of her love

The treasure of nature

Abandoned Tree

Simply wonderful Tinka. I have seen poetry narrated by animals and building, but never a tree and you do this so well too. This light, heartfelt poem has a serious message though. Thank you for sharing.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie.

This is delightful, Tinka! I like the way the tree is the "writer" and writes about YOU. It was worth drawing--a harbinger of hope remaining in a dismal spot. There is a sweetness to this one.

How sweet and calming this is, Tinka and your painting is just beautiful. I always gaze in awe at the great old trees, wondering what amazing tales they would tell if only we would listen. This is one of your best, I think, as the gentleness of your spirit truly comes through in your words.
Take care,
Sherry
