You, little fir,
you will grow, quiet, unnoticed.
We will fight for space, 
for energy, for roads.
We will wonder about the purpose of life.
You will develop quietly, without questioning, inch by inch.
We will, in our families, our communities, our country,
our parish, our world
create conflicts, increase conflicts, solve conflicts.
You will remain silent and grow,
during a storm, in the rain, in the snow, in the sunshine.
You stand, stay there, facing all.
Your roots are below the ground, invisible.
They give you  strength and support to develop.
You show us what we have to do :
Wait, grow, mature, trust, radiate our inner peace.
