What you associate
With pain will hold you back
Hanging on to the lack
Of happiness
What you associate
With joy will set you free
Smiling while hugging trees
Such happiness

We can choose if or when
IF will not get you there
WHEN lets you seek the where
You want to be

On legs sturdy and strong
She stands tall like the trees
Because each day she seized
The chance to try

What you do and do well
Is the stuff you should tell
You’ll get their attention
When with joy you mention
The things that ring your bell
©2023 Annette Rochelle Aben
Nodding in agreement
The three friends became one
Supporting the outcome
Of a great dream
