STRENGTH

The tree branches were bare,
their leaves torn from them
by the winter's harsh chill.

And while they stood
exposed and vulnerable,
they stood with strength
and pride,
knowing that they were
soon to grow back their
leaves of amber and
burgundy.

And from these trees
I learnt, that no matter
how harsh the conditions,
no matter how broken we are,
we can still stand strong,
as from the harsh conditions,
we will grow and form
something beautiful.
