By Lynn Hill

A good teacher measures as well as inspires those around them to grow. Come along on a lyrical journey into the thoughts and feelings that drive everyday life!

A Tree Like Me

Of all the things in this world to be,
I wondered. What if there were a tree like me?

I wouldnt have to walk, but through life Id go anyway.
Id have many adventures, for underneath my branches as they sway

Lovers will kiss, books will be read, and children will play at my feet.
Ill have my share of sunshine, rain, snow, and even sleet.

As the wind blows, Ill shake free! bend but not break.
Having strong roots, these things Ill be able to take.
You know, theres a trick to being able to bend and not break.

Oh! how my shadow will cast its spell
For my leaves will have a story to tell.

Like a tree that bears good fruit,
My children will grow from strong roots.

Though alone in the meadow
I continue to strive.

I would have held many creatures,
And shaded many lives.

Of all the things in this world to be,

I’d have many adventures, for underneath my branches

Having strong roots, these things I’ll be able to take.

You Know, there’s a trick to being able to bend and not brake.

Oh! how my shadow will cast it’s spell………

For my leaves will have a story to tell.

Like a tree that bares good fruit,

My children will grow from strong roots.
