A Magnolia Tree

 ~

Standing tall for all to see,

showcasing a multitude of gifts,

 with long, green, waxy leaves.

 ~

Delicate flowers in sundry colors,

white being the iconic symbol,

of a southern favorite.

~

Beauty and strength in its stance,

providing shade for those seeking relief,

with sturdy branches for nesting birds.

~

Autumn brings its offering of  food,

lovely cone shaped pods,

red seeds shining in the sun.

~

Standing tall for us to see,

we must remember,

a Magnolia Tree is a gift for all.

~

Our visits are a gift; we will treasure each and every memory.
