Healing and Hope

Good Timber

In the forest of life, where challenges lie, the strongest trees endure,
With roots so deep and branches high, their strength forever sure.
Through storms and winds, they stand their ground, their might a sight to see,
For in the heart of every tree, a lesson there shall be.
Good timber doesn't grow with ease, but through the toughest strife,
It's in the trials and the pain, we find the strength of life.

Healing and Hope

Forest’s Strength

Good timber stands through raging storms, and rises with the sun,
Its beauty lies in scars and lines, from battles fought and won.
In every ring, a story told, of courage through the years,
For good timber shows its strength, in both its joys and tears.
So let us be like forest trees, with roots that firmly hold,
Through every challenge life may bring, we grow both strong and bold.

Healing and Hope

Strength in Growth

Good timber grows where storms have passed,
Where roots are deep and strong, steadfast.
Through winds and rain, through sun and shade,
In nature's forge, true strength is made.
The tallest trees, the mightiest ones,
Have faced the fiercest storms and suns.
Their branches spread, their leaves unfurl,
In strength and beauty, they swirl.
Through trials hard, through tests of time,
Good timber grows, in peaks it climbs.
With every ring, a story told,
Of battles won, of courage bold.
So let us strive, through life's own test,
To grow like timber, strong and blessed.
For in each challenge, we shall find,
The strength of heart, the strength of mind.
