A beautiful poem and I love the sentiment -- : Strength is yours to give. That can be so true as we age and sometimes it is the most important gift we have ever given. I love the poem and the picture. ann

Beautiful poem whether taken literally as referring to a tree or metaphorically referring to elderly humans
I agree that strength and resilience are attributes of aging that can inspire and encourage those who are younger.
An excellent philosophical entry to the contest well presented and illustrated.
Best of luck in the contest.
Stay safe and blessed

The photograph you chose for this contest entry is perfect, the bark shows how aged-rough and scarred the tree is. This got me to thinking, I sure hope I don't look that aged-rough and scarred. LOL Thank you for sharing and good luck.

Wisdom and strength come with age, for trees and for us. Each tree has value for the ones who shelter within it, and hopefully we can be that shelter and protection and strength to nurture others, even with a few wrinkles. Mind you, your photo shows you have very smooth skin, not at all like the tree! Thanks so much for reviewing, much appreciated. Wendy
Comment from Ben Colder
Always, much like a well for water, we give strength to each other through prayer, through good wishes, and any little thing we can. Your short poem says it all. Best to you.

-Nice image and presentation, Wendy.
-You wrote a good poem about this amazing tree.
-A very good image in line one, and effective
use of personification as you are addressing the tree.
-A very good concluding line, too.
-A good entry; good luck.

You are very welcome, Wendy.

I like the originality of your compound adjective age-rough. You could have said 'age-roughened' and lost the 'and' in that line. readaloud it would sound almost the same as what you have here.

Comment from Begin Again
Imagine all the storms and rough times this poor old tree has endured in order to remain standing and how it gives of itself for others. And then someone will one day decide for no other reason than selfishness to take it down. I hope not.

Hi Carol, Maybe you are that tree, and you will stay standing for all who need you. Or maybe Jesus is that tree, offering us shade, shelter, protection, and strength. Many thanks for reviewing and for your thoughts. Sending hugs.

So glad you enjoyed this one. Yes, strength and wisdom accompany old age and we can still shelter and nurture those who need it. Thanks so much for reviewing.

Comment from lyenochka
Such a cool meditation. On one hand, I feel the poem addresses the Lord because He shelters all who need Him and gives us strength. On a physical level, it's like the picture. The tree gives strength and shelter. And then it could be any of us whom the Lord uses to provide shelter and strength to others He puts in our lives. Best wishes in the contest!

Perfect interpretation. But most won't think of the Lord, the ultimate one who was scarred, and had no beauty that people should desire Him. Thank you so much for your review and good wishes! I always appreciate your thoughtful reviews.
