LONGEVITY
Blessed with ages
The days of trees
Long time keeper
Honey bees hiver
Sharp and distant through many moons
Sufficience through loyal gradient roots
Suck and absorb two elements, double tapping
Collect from many years that you may live long
Atavistic, landmark, non succumbing
To the wind, to the scorching sun circle
Erosionary waters, have left markings
Yet you nobly persist, over scores of
Longevity, and length of days
Work of your hands, many have eaten
Seeds of your plants, travelled abroad
Formed colonies of troops, just like you
Suddenly your strength fails, by razor
Like Samson, your torso goes down
But, here your progeny does not end
Because a stump stands
Left a stubborn you
