I am Methuselah

I was here before pharaohs were buried in their pyramids. 

I stand while droughts and winters come and go,

I thrive off the rocky terrain of adversity.

I have seen countless lives of animals.

I hold memory in my bark.

I am a dendrochronology reference.

Ancient trees surround me.

I am Methuselah. 

​I live,​
