In a forest deep and green,
There stood a pine so tall and serene,
Its boughs stretched high into the sky,
Evergreen and proud, it caught the eye.

But something was amiss that day,
As a harvest wind blew its way,
The pine swayed and shook in the breeze,
Defenseless against the wind's seize.

Distracted by the leaves and the pinecones,
It didn't see the wind's fierce cyclones,
And before it knew it, it was castaway,
Falling to the ground in a disarray.

But fear not, little ones, for all was well,
The pine got up with a jolly swell,
And though it may have been brought down,
It rose again, tall and proud, with its crown.

So remember, my dear little friends,
Even when the world around us bends,
We can rise up strong and unafraid,
Just like the pine, standing tall in its evergreen shade.
