A fence post and a tree are both anchored in the earth

A fence post and a tree are both anchored in the earth. But they achieve it in totally different ways.

Is she the one - will she stay?

What do you see when you see a tree

What does it take to pull up stakes?

The question is fair and only if you dare

For the tree is firmly anchored in the ground

And the shovel to dig it out is nowhere to be found

While in contrast, the fence post is easy to be set free

It can be pulled out of the ground so much easier than the tree

What do you see when you spot a fence post in the ground

Is it leaning in or is it leaning out and will it stay

Contrast to the tree it looks like it has begun to decay

If the fence post made out of wood

It will come out easy for it doesn’t have any roots

Most fence posts I know are made out of wood

But without roots, that’s all it is, a piece of wood

 So the fence post stands alone and the tree has deep and strong roots

Roots that are hidden and asleep but strong enough to hold it up for keeps

While the fence post will pull up stakes and when the tree will stay

There isn’t any question which of the two just wants to play

While the fence post wavers and sways with the wind

Showing its weakness and not knowing whether it will break or bend

So if you choose between the two I would pick the tree

For the fence post will be so much easier to pull up stakes and be free
