Question: I am looking for a poem or song with the line, "the stronger the wind, the stronger the trees!." !?
I have lived by this theory my entire life!. (because of a rough childhood)!. I read it as a poem once in one of my great grandmothers books about 20 years ago!. Then, in 6th grade, we sang a song about it in music!. I cannot find anything about the song or poem!. I would like to know the entire poem since I have lived by this my entire life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Going out on a limb here, no pun intended, but I'm pretty sure J!. Willard Marriot was quoted as saying that!. Or it could be J!. William Marriot!. It's been a while since I've heard the name!. I would check for you, but eh, I'm being a little lazy!. Hehe!. Hope you find what you are looking for!

Btw, it sure is a wonderful quote!. :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
