Dogwood bark, gnarled and honest, snakes up towards the sky, and gifting cross-shaped flowers.

You’re a true testament.

Still going strong, not withering away from the hot sun.

Trust you won’t soon disappear. Even as the moss becomes your new bark, you’ll carry on, growing and living, and aging along with me.
