The Tree Life


I feel like my life is like a tree.

For each branch comes a new challenge,

For each piece of bark a new choice.

Sometimes I don't make the right choice,

Sometimes I fail my challenge,

But I never give up.

As I keep climbing my tree,

If I slip I regain my footing,

If I fall I start over,

And if I reach the top to soon... Well, I'll enjoy the view.

HI I'm a high school student in Portland Oregon. Ummm I dont know what else to say about myself. I like ice cream and have fainting goats. Yep that's me in a nutshell.
