**~`STRENGTH` OF A TREE`~ {Review}**

~*`STRENGTH` OF A TREE`*~

I feel your strength like that
of a tree
Strong, deep`rooted and
totally free

Standing on your own never
falling low
Holding up against fierce
winds that blow

Bearing heat under the sunniest
time of day
While giving shade to children
at play

A place of shady rest for the
weary of mind
Holding your arms out for
birds to find
Protection in nesting come
spring time

I feel your battle against
nature's seasons
For each one created God has
His reasons

Winter preserves water given
to the earth
Spring for thawing living
waters of rebirth

Summer warms the earth with
life of lights
While Autumn's sights glorifies
and delights

But through it all you stand
mighty and tall
Like a tree battling forces
that never falls

I feel your strength whenever
a crisis calls

EDITOR'S COMMENT:
The use of rhyme in your poem rings of tradition,
yet is controlled in such a way that it reflects
your own unique style.
Without completely breaking from the past,
you remain true to our modern context,
adapting an older convention to a newer usage.
I think the work of John Keats and Thomas Hardy
would be of interest to you in similarity.
