How lovely you are
with your crooks and turns,
reaching high
into the bluest sky,

A perch for the
songbird's sweet serenade,
nature's loveliest playground.

Your age is showing;
with each ring comes beauty;
The passing of time
evident in each line;

Tender green leaves
whisper gentle on the breeze,
and filter the brightest sun. 
Strong and lovely,
vibrant with life;
you stand so tall,
giving shade to all;

Casting your shadow
to cool from the sun;
Wellspring of life
Forever.

Great photos and great verse.
I love trees - I see personality in most
Grand, proud, strong, friendly, givers, providers
Thanks
