Among the towering sequoias  
there's one that challenges the sky.  
"How dare you, upstart, to annoy us?"  
Gods send a message from up high,  
a forest fire ought to do it...  
He shrugs it off, like nothing to it.  
The earth may be all ash and soot,  
but he'll keep stretching, foot by foot.  
As branches reach the very heavens  
where but the bravest eagles dare,  
the gods are having quite a scare.  
The giant, though, he grows and leavens,  
remains defiant, brash, and free.  
But at his root, he's still a tree.
