The Best of Both Worlds

She is beautiful as she is

With a mind and soul of a tree,

Having a battered trunk

Scarred by the past.

But her brawny roots

Still holding her up,

Helping her reach higher,

Growing leaves afresh.

She is beautiful as she is

With a heart of a bird,

Having mighty wings

Daring to take the leap,

Dreaming of soaring

In the unexplored sky.
She is the best of both worlds.
