Another Giant of the Forest, has Fallen.
It all starts with a tiny seed.
Love of the Parent, propels the need
This seed fell into solid ground
Destiny conceived, he'd be long time around.
As roots took hold in moist soil
The ground above hard, it would be toil!
Yet pushing on through anchored below
He thrived, slowly, then did mightily grow.
As he grew straight and tall
The mighty Cedar, was friend to all
Many sheltered in his outstretched limbs
Swayed in the breeze, sometimes on whims!
As the branches expanded, seeds fell to ground
Ensuring his line, would forever, be around
As he reached further to the Sky
Blessed was he in the Son's eye!
Strong winds oft times shook his trunk
Though firm he stood, unwilling to flunk
Years went by, and all who knew
Under his shelter, happily grew.
Leaves and moss continued expanding
Some blew away, yet he was never demanding
Some flew far across seas,
hastened by enticing breeze
The years go by, the mighty Cedar changes
Of his stature surely rearranges
Still standing straight and tall
Though the bark, is weathering all!
Enjoyed by many a creature
His stance in life hath become a feature
Looked up to, adored by peers
He feels the grip inside, as it sears.
One day an ill wind roars
Hard and fast, injects evil spores
He holds fast as he is able
But this wind has made him unstable.
Winds upon winds topple him over
He lies weary amid 3 leaf clover
Comes the day, where his time is all in
Another Giant of the Forest, has Fallen.
