This Hill; A Home
I'm an evergreen fortress derived from
an abled bough with twigs that intertwine together
to make this crown I, so proudly, wear.
Yes, it's evident by my rhytidome,
that I have stood for many generations
and I will stand for many more to come.
I will never falter to the demanding tasks
of the tyrannical wind
as I use the strongest of branches
to protect all that my settlers have built inside.
I will forever stand for the oath that I have sworn,
for I am a fortress; A home on this hill.
