The Old Trees

Old trees are our parents, and our parent’s parents. We should show humility and respect to those that gave us our start, supporting us when we were just saplings.

It was the old trees that sheltered us in the storm, when our weak stems were still unable to stand against the gusts. They stood tall over us in the heat, absorbing the brunt of the sun’s scorching rays.

I have known many old trees in my life. Friends, teachers, family members and mentors. contributing that first spark of interest in a subject and supporting me as I pursued my goals.

It is the old trees that make us who we are. We should never forget those to whom we truly owe our success.

Let us be trees that are rooted firmly in good soil, strong and tall. May we never forget the old trees that came before us, giving us our start, nor the saplings at our roots.

it is our past weathering of harsh storms that come our way that makes us stronger, We must support and shelter the young ones, never forgetting that we to, were once as fragile as they.
