Knot Smile

Do Knot smile,

no matter

what you do,

seems to be

the mantra

of the ones

who spread

dark and gloom

and dread.

 

This little Knot

knows the secret,

to living in a

cruel place.

 

It's branch's gone

and its tree trunk too.

Cut down out of spite,

yet still it is smiling

back at me with all

its might.

 

This little forget me

not may not be a

flower but its still

here, filled with life's

smiling power.

 

The heart of the tree

in its roots dose rest.

where new growth

grows best.

down tree trying to grow back.
