Quotation:

If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or fight like hell.”

O to be a tree

O to be a tree,
And stand within the forest green and fair,
And hold my braches high within the air,
My head held in the sky.

O to be a willow tree,
That sits by the gentle running stream,
And with roots deep in the water dreams,
Of sunlight and summer days.

O to be a mighty oak,
And stand alone within the meadow,
Where the flowers their colours show,
And the butterfly abound.

O to be a plane tree,
That stands beside man’s busy roads,
And watches people as they go,
About their foolish business.

O to be an olive tree,
On a sunlit island hillside,
Warmed by day and cooled by night,
Under ancient stars.

O to be the mighty sequoia,
And span the years from my birth,
With roots sunk deep within the earth,
And memories within the sap.

O to be a tree,
And then be free from cares and woes,
To give up thinking but to deeply know,
An existence complete.
