Poem

“Good Timber” by Douglas Malloch.   

The tree that never had to fight For sun and sky and air and light, But stood out in the open plain, 

And always got its share of rain, Never became a forest king , But lived and died a scrubby thing.

     Of sun and sky and light and air,
Never became a manly man
     But lived and died as he began
