Lightning Strikes a Tree ❤️
So sad when this happens ❤️
Lightning Strikes a Tree❤️
Lightning strikes, the tree must bend,
A flash, a crack—will this be its end?
The air is loud, the rain pours fast,
The mighty tree must face the blast.
Its trunk is torn, its bark turns black,
Yet still it stands, it won’t fall back.
The storm rolls on, the winds grow weak,
The dawn appears, the light will speak.
From broken wood, new shoots will grow,
Life returns, as seasons show.
Lightning strikes, but can’t defeat,
The tree’s strong roots, its heart still beats.❤️

GRANDMA NELSON
Daddy pulled off the interstate, and I saw the all familiar red barn, and I knew we had arrived at Grandma Nelson's farm. I always had mixed feelings about seeing my Grandmother. It seemed she had as many Grandchildren as the old Mother in the shoe nursery rhyme. I saw her as different, but that is not why I hestiated. The truth be known I always got in trouble at her house, and ended up sitting in the car after I had been scolded.

So beautiful and full of hope!
Oh, how nature is resilient in many ways. Good work.
Nature can withstand, a strong soul can do the same. As we are all one with nature.
Deep and powerful
The resilience of nature oft reflected in the soul of humanity. Lovely. 🙏🏻😁
