Fruits of Labor
A lone mango tree stands,
Old and ragged and weathered,
But calm and content,
Through the tyranny of nature.
It once took root among many,
A bountiful forest,
A shelter for all,
A source of life.
Time and tide rolled by,
And one by one they fell,
Burdened by greed and grain,
Until one lone mango tree stood.
But resolute it remains,
As strong as a forest,
Giving and giving,
The sweet fruits of labor.
