Down but not out


Strolling through my yard this time of year, 
You might assume this tree had fallen; 
Died; lived out its life — but no! 
It is a living apple tree, still vital, 
Still feeding children and the homeless — 
A living testament to perseverance 
And endurance; inspiration to us all, 
Reminding us that down need not mean out.
