The tree in back,
Has nothing to lack
Its limbs may crawl to the sky,
An effort to climb.

If it reaches the top,
We will all know why.
It had encouragement,
A dream in mind.

Something hopeful and something doubtful,
It listened to reasoning,
To reach a goal.
Whoever would of thought,
Trees have souls?
