There in the woods
Stood a big red tree
With its branches out
And its leaves in the free
No one there had a doubt
That this big red tree
Would ever shout.
Years ago in Catholic elementary school I wrote this simple poem. My grade was C- and I was crushed. I thought it was so great and insightful.
Now as a mature woman in my Goddess stage of life, I realize that all my "shouting" for acceptance from others was futile. All I needed was a Higher Power and I would find my voice and then be heard.
To all the wonderful friends that I have in my life today - I celebrate your inner big red tree!!
