Song of a Cedar Seed    

 
 
I would be 
a cedar tree

arising from darkness
I would reach toward the light
and as I germinate
my roots would penetrate
the gentle earth
as I drank of dew
and bathed in rain
and sun alike
the wind would gently rock me
as I grew

I would become a gentle giant
of the forest

there
I would be a haven for birds
and creatures of the woods
would love me for my strength
serenity and steadfastness

I would be
a cedar tree
and as I stood
I would praise
my Lord
and
my Creator
would acknowledge me
and be pleased

Gentle and serene write, somewhere friendly to take shade in the heat of summer but not so sure about the lightning.
Has a hymn like quality. Nice one ole chum.

A perfect choice. Trees are majestic. They bow to no one.

I like trees woods and forests so I enjoyed this
tribute to the cedar, Regis. One of your best
poems I would say, and a British Columbian like
yourself must be blessed with mountain greenery.

best wishes

A lovely poem and a lovely thought. The Lebanese would not have become a seafaring, trading nation had it not been for the Cedars of Lebanon, all but gone today.

I recall traveling to a particularly rocky parts of Tennessee and Kentucky where only cedars grew on the harsh soil, seemingly devoid of substance and nutrients. Cedar has a wonderful aroma that is useful for driving away insects. Making the wood long-lasting and less eaten by insects. I clad my house in Georgia with Western red Cedar. It required no paint or stain for 20 years. I only had to replace an occasional piece of siding that was damaged or deteriorated.

A tree-mendous write, and tribute to the cedar tree. If you were that tree, I'm sure you wouldn't have a wooden heart in your "chest."

Is that cedar or pine, either way the poem is as handsome as the tree...-e-

Oh brilliantly put!
This is not a cedar tree at all. This is what we would wish we could be, were we not merely human beings with human weaknesses.
