And I'm Okay With That

I’ve heard it said, and can it be

That only god could only make a tree

I’ve traveled far across the sea

Spent years and years perfecting me

Through many trials and tragedies

Saw good and bad in humanity

I paid my dues, with some for free

Some days I traded dignity

All to test my spirituality

And discover parts I've never seen

I've studied truths and philosophy

Seen studies on our biology

Found treasures vast and hidden keys

With a lot to see, and I've seen some things

I still fall humbly, on my knees

Cause when all's said and done, I must agree

that only god could make a tree

A/N

The phrase "only God can make a tree" is the final line of the poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer. It expresses the idea that while humans can create poems, only a divine power can create something as complex and beautiful as a tree. Kilmer's poem elevates the tree to a symbol of nature's divine creation, something that human effort, no matter how skillful, cannot replicate
