Trees



I like trees.

Some of my best friends are trees.

They are strong, yet flexible.

They stay the same, yet they change with the seasons.

They do not care what I am thinking, only that I am.

Each one is unique, and special in its own way.

They will always be there when I need them.

...until they are cut down...

...and thrown into the fire.

Maybe this could be an allegory about how God feels about us, his humans...

That little poem could be taken several ways. When I first read it, I thought, "Wow! He's talking about his friends dying." Then I read it again and realized that, along the lines of what Becky commented, that it could be referring to our walk in life and how God works to refine us.
