What does it mean to be resilient? It is the capacity to bounce back from adversity.

Tree of Strength

There’s a tree in my garden,
That stands strong and tall,
No matter what happens,
My tree doesn’t fall.

When it is windy
Blowing gales and squalls
My tree bows and bends
But I know it won’t fall.

When rain falls upon it,
So hard it might drown,
My tree welcomes water
And holds out its boughs.

When the sun shines hard,
And plants all turn brown,
My tree’s lengthy roots,
Ensure water is found.

And when it is snowing,
And frost tries to bite,
My tree sheds some leaves
And soon new ones shine bright.

I watch my tree daily
There’s much to admire,
Such strength and resilience
To which I aspire.
