Life has a way of bringing out the best in us, the good and the bad. The main poem, Tree Connection will leave you asking yourself, Will you sway? Will you stay rooted? Who's tying you down? Who's poking you? Will life cause you to be crooked? Will you flourish? Will you die? Will you lean? Will you bend? Is there truly a connection between trees and a person? Some will doubt the connection of a tree to a live person, but this poem will answer their doubt. It will challenge you to look at where your strength comes from in relation to that of an actual tree planted here on earth. Reflect on your life story of testing who you really are when life challenges you with raining cats and dogs, clear skies ahead, to sleeting and hailing all over.
