unonename Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 hi this a poem i got out of a book and it helped me through many break ups except one and i would like to share this poem with u. She stands alone She stands alone, both tall and true The perfect picture of solitude The soul of a woman encased in bark With limbs that move in a majestic arc Alone she's faced the storms of life The wind and rain, disease and strife Others gave up, but no, not she And there she stands for all to see She's had her share of troubles and woes But she made it though, and still she grows Like her I too know grief and pain I've faced the wind; I've felt the rain And like her too, I still stand tall Though life may beat me, I will not fall It may throw punches, I may take a blow But in the end I too shall grow Each storm increases my strength And beneath this skin, my soul's to thank The elm and I, we know what to do We count on ourselves, and make it through.

Happy_Go_Lucky_Heb Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Hey, I get it but I don't like it that much...maybe u hav 2 b in the right mood or something. It's like trying 2 say the lessons we learn are the storms pucnhes etc etc and that from every lesson we learn, we're scarred (bark and growing). Its insiprational.
