This poem is about a girl who has been through alot, and she compares herself to a friendly Elm tree as she states how she has stood through all her grief.

She stands alone, both tall and true The perfect picture of solitude The
soul of a woman encased in bark With limbs that move in a majestic arc 
Alone she's faced storms of life The wind and rain, disease and strife 
Others gave up, but no, not she And there she stands for all to see 
She's had her share of troubles and woes But she made it through, and 
still she grows Like her I too know grief and pain I've faced the wind, 
I've felt the rain And like her too, I stand tall Though life may beat 
me, I will not fall It may throw punches, I may take a blow But in the 
end I too shall grow Each storm I weather increases my strength And 
beneath this skin, my soul's to thank The elm and I, we know what to do 
We count on ourselves, and make it through.
