I am still a tree
Starting out small
And realizing 
It takes time to grow tall 

I am still growing my roots down deep
Digging far below the surface 
Finding nourishment in each season
Knowing in this process there is purpose 

I now know I am not alone 
Because trees grow in a forest
Surrounded by strength 
One of many, all to flourish

Time is allowing me to grow big
And things are starting to look different 
Everything looks smaller 
As I rise up, I become magnificent
