Be As A Tree Poem by Michael Hopkins
Be As A Tree
Men will try you
Some unjustly
Some with justice
Naught will come of it
For they have no authority
No real power
For they are as leaves upon the grass
Fallen from above
Dry and devoid of life
Waiting to be blown about by whatever wind crosses their path
Aimlessly drifting
Never finding a home
Be as the tree
Strong and firmly attached to the Earth
With deep roots which extract nourishment from below
And limbs and branches and leaves which reach to the heavens
Yes
Be as the trees
Patient, strong and stable
Communing with Heaven and Earth
Unconcerned by events around them
Knowing that even in death
They will continue to nourish the Earth
And
Serve a purpose
Even
Long after they are gone

Yes, " be as trees" Who could ask for more, Not as harmful weeds We seed, Chocking goodness, Choosing evil Instead of opening Beauty's door. As this poem, for the ages, has so impeccably and astoundingly, done.
This is without a doubt, one of the greatest, most beautiful, heart and soul fulfilling poems, I have ever read! The depth and poetic truthful beauty of thought and sentiment, so very deep and green with a universal scent that to all speaks in an unforgettable language supreme. I am devotedly swept away for this work will remain as an admired favorite, forever and a day.
