The Two Hundred First, July 19, 2011

how would you describe yourself
if you were given just one chance

would you be strong and sturdy
like a great and powerful oak tree

would you be kind and gentle
like an early morning spring rain

would you be loud and overbearing
or would you be meek and timid

I want to stand tall and straight
strong before the winds that come

providing shelter from the storms
and shade from the heat of the day

like the mighty oak in the forest
never loud but always there

  1. There is a part of me that wishes this could be written with some kind of rhyming/rhythm pattern.
