Reincarnation

 

Only if I believed in reincarnation,

I'd choose to be a majestic tree.

With a big, strong trunk and evergreen leaves, 

Rooted deep, no matter the weather's hostility.

Through sandy soil I'd stand strong and still,

Providing life and shade to all who seek.

A deathbed companion and a symbol of grit,

From beginning to end, my purpose never concealed.
