Progress that is so --------FAST
does not always prolong and --------LAST

A TREE, that is Quick, to sprout, blossum and bloom
and GROWS, so TALL, outstretched  and
--------FAST

Will not Always, be the GREATEST, Sturdy Enduring, TREE
that prolongs, Endures, and for
CENTURIES, and CENTURIES, 
Flourishes, and
--------LAST

Some TREES, can grow, so
FAST, and reach for the --------SKY

But to reach the Century mark
they wither, fail, frail, -and--fall--away
weak, and --------SHY

The GREAT-SEQUIA-TREE
that sprouts, Blossums, and blooms
so so so, very --------SLOW

ENDURES
for
CENTURIES
and
CENTURIES
stronger and stronger
with
SLOW
  STEADY
    FAITHFUL
       CONFIDENT
          BRAVE
            And
               STRONG
GROWING--HUMBLY
SLOW--beautiful
