    Joshua Tree

     I may look dead
    I may be bent over
    I may be hanging to one side or the other
    I may appear fragile
    My limbs may look wither and brown
    My body maybe lean
    My very tips may scratch at the ground
    I am not tall or massive
    I am not painted with the colors of the rainbow

    But

    I need very little to survive and grow
    I am strong and mighty in my own right
    Look closer at me I am bearing fruit
    Most of my life I am reaching towards the heavens
    I am shading the driest of lands
    I grow wild and stand sturdy in environments that others can not even take roots
    I can stand alone in the harsh of elements
    My beauty is unique and unmistakeable
    I may look as if the end of my life is near
    But look closer and you will see I am only just blooming

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
