 LIKE A REED
 
 
I am a reed weak and worn
 
Tossed around and battered in a 
 
Summer storm.
 
Frail
 
Not one of Nature’s best
 
Yet
 
Paradoxically
 
It is my flexibility
 
That allows me to survive
 
The strongest oak tree.
 
And
 
As I grow old
 
Feeling death’s Winter cold
 
I see struggling next to me
 
The seeds of my progeny.

The oak shall fall The reed

The oak shall fall
The reed shall bow
and weather the storm.
