You there, blazoned with light
Yes, you, tree
Forest-deep, leaf-shadowed

Through the thicket
To light your breast
Braving all that would deny
You are hope
Claiming dawn’s bright promise
Some are family and some are not Some care a little and some care a lot Some are older and some are not Some are bolder and call the shot Some live near and some live far Some you can visit by driving
