Just look at you
Roots firmly planted
Holding you steady
Whipped by the wind
Bashed and blown
You bend but don’t break
Whatever is thrown
Your limbs stretch wide
A harbour for many
A shelter for more.
Stand strong my friend
Against all the elements.
Look to the sky
And remember this:
We gathered here say
You are magnificent!
