Tree In The Rain © Poem by Roann Mendriq

All night it rained, in sheets it poured,
Lightning flashed and thunder roared;
I trembled for my garden trees,
that shuddered in the icy breeze.

One was slight, not very tall,
I hoped and prayed, she would not fall;
For as the storm raged on and on,
I prayed she'd make it until dawn.

Then as the son rose, blazing light,
I found that she had found her might;
For there she stood, quite safe and sound,
Still standing strong, she stood her ground.

With scarlett blossoms cherry bright,
she blossomed in that dreary night!
