We Grow Together
A Sonnet
May 9, 2022
We Grow TogetherYou leaned over me, to shade me from harm
You poised your strengthened arms for true support
Hoisted, crawled up to your bough, strong with arms
You welcomed me into your nature fort Your girth reminds me of my own true strength
When life of wanders strengthened my own thighs
Your size reminds me of my life's own length
How when we grow together we reach skies
Dare we plan a life, as my journal fills
To plan a destiny, filled with hope sought
Your own ancestors pulp gave me the will
To document a life well-worn from thought Together we are ready for our cause
You present to me ready without pause Lisa Tomey May 9, 2022 This poem is in response to the weeklyLiving Poetry Prompt
