When I Look Up

By: Grayson Loffman

When I look up at the big blue sky, I cannot see the sun;

For all I see is the great big canopy, shading the entire forest;

I look up at the elders, for they have grown aloft

Way beyond my height, way before my time

I look to them when I am scared, in the middle of a vicious storm

They do not sway, they do not break, for their roots are firm within the ground

I look to them when I am lonely, although I know they're always here;

I have doubt that they will remain, that they might run from me and hide;

But every time I look at them, they're always by my side.
