Dunno, don't like this much, but I was in a rhyming mood so...
I have learned the difference between lost and free
I learned it from the falling leaves
I know how deep my roots must grow
I know from mistakes made in winter snow
I have learned to measure the thickness of bark
I learned from the width around my heart
I know the gentle breezes that make branches dip
I know from the dew my green leaves sip
I have learned the feel of green new growth
I learned from the scent of rising hope.
