Dignity Tree Poem

The Dignity Tree

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
