THE DIGNITY TREE
A poem by Sheryl Parkman
I’m planting my first seed today
The seed of dignity
In time you’ll see my seed will grow
And grow into a tree
A tree fulfilled with knowledge
A plant for all to see
What being a dignity champion
Really means to me
It’s a leaf with an idea on
It’s an idea I’d like to share
It’s an inspirational idea
It’s a leaf to show I care
The tree will always be there
Long after I have gone
To stand up for dignity in care
A challenge to be won
I know you will support me
And I know you’ll love the tree
It’s not just a tree you know
It’s what dignity means to me
