These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Octelle: "Strength of Pine Trees"

Strength of pine trees, needles showing,
summer, winter, always growing.
Living with extremities
heat makes brown on some of these,
but regal green still shining
keeps hearts for these trees pining.
Strength of pine trees, needles showing,
summer, winter, always growing.
