One cypress against the storm

Seemingly ready to stand against the storm

On its own the lone cypress girds itself for what's in store.

It's not a question of stay or go

It's more a matter of "go ahead and blow, I'll take whatever you throw!"

 

I doubt you'll ever find one of these giants swim out to sea.

Maybe bend and sway and perhaps even wade,

So best you'd find one of these noble trees

If you'd like to see the sun come up after that terrible breeze

 

Our hopes and prayers go out to all who live along the Gulf Coast in the path of Issac.
