The Unsung Heroes Poem by Mereia Namatua

She stands mighty and strong
Her roots interwoven and gives out songs
Her trunk curves and sways in the wind
A great refuge to those who seek

In the summer she blossom with all her might
Attracting bees and insects without giving them a fright
With clothes that changes with the weather
That evolutionary died out in sweet surrender

All of a sudden something bit into her
Something that gnashes its teeth and claws
The once beautiful tree that everybody seeks
Is nothing more than a dead wood that let waters in

We never know what tomorrow brings
We can vanish in thin air or be a droplet that leaks
So friends enjoy every moment like your last
Or you will end up devastated and ruined to the crust
