the trees

As I strolled down the road
I could hear the trees clapping
They are surprised that I’m on my feet
The leaves whisper to each other
Some say “I can’t believe he can be this strong”
Others say “but he looks like a weakling”
Where did he get this kind of strength?
This has nothing to do with his physic
This kind of strength can only come from within
