To the Tree That Lives in the floodplain
by Jonathan Kraft

Thank-you for you leadership,
your courage,
and your wisdom.
You have been, and
most likely will continue to be
a friend,
a teacher,
and a support.

Thank-you for your
energy, compassion, and
gentle command.
Without which the
one nearby would
have a much more
difficult time.
