Christi Steyn

When I look at the trees,
I see them change

I watch as the colors fade
And the leaves fall

I watch as the flowers bloom
And the lives return

I watch as they grow taller
Stronger
Steadfast

While the world continues around them,
They remain.

When I look at the trees,
All I see is you

And I can’t help but feel warm
When I find myself
In your shade
