A powerful poem about growth, resilience, and the strength born through adversity.
Douglas Malloch’s Good Timber is a stirring reflection on how both trees — and people — grow stronger through challenge. This vintage typewriter-style print is a meaningful reminder that the storms we endure are shaping something deep and lasting within us.
Full Poem:
The tree that never had to fight
For sun and sky and air and light…
From forest roots to life’s struggles, the poem draws a beautiful parallel between nature and human strength. Ideal for study walls, offices, or any space where perseverance is honoured.
Printed in a classic serif typewriter font, this design is available in a clean white, soft black, or aged background style — perfect for literary decor, graduation gifts, or motivation in hard times.
