I want to be…

June 28, 2010

I want to be a giant sequoia tree

Standing tall

And gracefully

In my old age

Unfazed by fires

And competition

Riding high on

My success –

A result of

Hard work

And hardiness.
—-

I want to be a giant sequoia tree

One in a million

Sturdy, long-lasting

Growing stronger

With every

Passing year

Reaching for

New heights

Broadening my

Horizon.

—-

I want to be a giant sequoia tree

Evergreen

Delightful

Dependable

Nurturing

Independent

Yet part of

A community.

—-

I want to be a giant sequoia tree

With stories to

Share

And tales to

Tell

Of new beginnings

And old friends.

—-

When I grow old

I want to be

Just like

A giant sequoia tree.

    Beautiful Sweetie….the sequoia’s are amazing I was lucky when I lived out there to spend some time in the John Muir woods & I was blown away by their size, strength & beauty.

    Hugs,

    Bill

      They truly are, Bill. So glad we live in this part of the country and are able to admire their beauty.

    I love this tree right from my school-days where I first read about it. The qualities you have attributed to this tree are wonderful almost making the tree like one of us. A tree always inspires and sustains me.

    Thanks Mansi for this lovely post.

    Joy always,
    Susan

      Thanks, Susan. Every time I see the giant sequoias I shake my head in wonderment. Thought it was about time I expressed those feelings :-)

    Cute!

    Majestic indeed
    they be
    these trees you talk of
    The giant sequoia tree

      And in them
      I see
      A future
      For me :-)
