Think Like a Tree
 This is a beautiful poem by Karen Shragg where she inspires us to "think like a tree."
A tree stands tall no matter what happens. It provides shelter to all. Not only this, the tree is deeply rooted while it's branches reach high.
Similarly, the poet tells us to  be down to earth and reach high to achieve our goals.
No matter what the season maybe, winter, summer, autumn or spring; the tree stands tall.
Similarly, whatever circumstances may present themselves in our lives, we too must stand tall; and be prepared for every season. Here, winter depicts the troubled times in our lives. Spring, here, can be compared to an end to troubles and new beginnings. Basically, the poet is telling us to smile and face every situation in live with a smile on our face.
The poet also urges us to settle down and get to know ourselves better for therein lies our true strength.

Think Like a Tree 

by Karen I. Shragg 

Soak up the sun 

Affirm life’s magic 

Be graceful in the wind

 Stand tall after the storm

 Feel refreshed after it rains

 Grow strong without notice 

Be prepared for each season 

Provide shelter to strangers 

Hang tough through a cold spell 

Emerge renewed a the first signs of spring 

Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky

 Be still long enough to hear your own leaves rustling.
