Branches In Time Poem by Heather Burns

Branches In Time

Rating: 3.9


A young tender
branch
is easily bent
into submission.

As time goes
by
maturity begins
to set in

the branch
grows stronger.

With each passing
day
she becomes able to
carry the leaves
attached

Until one day
raising her arms
high into the sky


a mature branch
emerges
refusing to bend
anymore.
