I Am the Tree
I Am The Tree
By Manar Daghash Aqsa School
My roots are surrounded beneath the Earth’s surface
Muslim, Palestinian, daughter, sister and friend
My Leaves, the fruits of Life, are the Legacies
I leave the World to live on after
I leave my thoughts, my innovations,
My dreams, my passions
My Bark, the strong stance of a Leader ready to change the world
The rings that are in the inside of my core; few in number but increasing
As precious time passes, tick-tock
Symbols of life’s obstacles and hurdles, as they increase
My bark gets thicker, solidifying my stance
I am the tree…
Proud, blessed, ready to take from the Earth and give it back
I Am The Tree
By Amal Mir Aqsa School
I am the tree
Social as a butterfly
Waving to the people below
Proud as a peacock
Standing tall with my head held high
Loyal as a dog
My roots firm in the ground
Colorful as a flamingo
Vibrant hues mix together in my leaves
Louder than a lion
My leaves rustling in the howling wind
I am the tree
