  • The beloved children’s poem, The Survivor Tree tells the story of the lone pear tree that survived the collapse of the Twin Towers. Discovered in the rubble by recovery workers and nursed back to health, the Survivor Tree has become a metaphor for hope and the resilience of the human spirit.

    - The Survivor Tree -
    From the worst day of all
    To my come back with glory
    I'm the survivor tree
    This is my story
    I was a strong pear tree
    At the World Trade Center
    I was strong every spring
    I was strong every winter
    One day in september
    When the buildings came down
    It was the worst day of all
    It was the worst day around
    We lost family and friends
    There was darkness and flashes
    I fell to the ground
    Surrounded by ashes
    Then the whole world felt sad
    And I really did too
    But we all came together
    Helped each other pull through
    And the workers they found me
    But I was in trouble
    As I had spent more than a month
    Burried in rubble
    My branches were torn
    And my trunk was all black
    And they worried that
    None of my leaves would grow back
    But one branch proclaimed
    I'm alive I'm alive
    My leaves said to the world
    I was gonna survived
    When they took me to heal
    I was treated with care
    And my branches grew
    Thirty feet in the air
    You can see in my trunk
    Where I go light from dark
    Where my limbs were reborn
    Where I grew brand new barks
    My blossoms remind us
    How strong we all are
    I'm a living reminder
    How we rose from the dark
    With the power of hope
    There's juste one way to summit
    There's nothing so bad
    That we can't overcome it

    A large group of our girls and their families from Australia are coming back to New York in January 2015. We can not wait to see the continuing growth of the memorial area, including The survivor Tree. This poem should be made into a book and placed in schools across your lovely country, not only to remember 9/11 and the hope that came from it, but to help all those struggling with life in general.

    I remember going to The Memorial Marathon and seeing this very tree on a 4:00 morning. As we gathered around it and the man preached the winds were blowing hard, like the spirits of those that have fallen were with us for a moment.

    I can't believe he survived more than *one month* without any light, while badly injured!
    He was also uprooted in a storm while being nursed back to health, and he did not give a fuck, he shrugged it off like it was a simple breeze.
    This tree is more badass than the majority of us will ever be.

      I don't know, everyone is ascribing it to Gaye Sanders, but her poem is about the tree in Oklahoma City. There seems to only be a credit ascribed to "the 9/11 memorial". I'd also like to know who the author actually is.
