Great Dad!

[@frankalaniz8252]

Awesome memory......I just began reading it to my son who is entering middle school. When he gets out the car in the morning a bit nervous I remind him, "good timber" and he knows I'm calling him to be strong and rise up.

Holy Toledo! What a sonorous voice, what diction, what world-weary wisdom. Bra--vo!

[@abraxadabra4224]

I'm pretty sure I had this poem saved from RedFrostMorivation Channel and now the algorhythm is censuring it! Thank you for uploading it and sharing I again! 💝

I can't believe this only has 10 likes your narration has the most conviction in your voice than I've heard anyone use. Well done narrator.

Thank you man. I listen to this everyday. More often than not with tears in my eyes.

[@dylanrios2746]

I’m glad to be singing this for choir

[@firstcashsafe]

I am getting out of a personal struggle that I've been living in the last two months and today is the first day to feel that sense of relief from it. I remembered of have listened this poem once therefore I came back to listen to it. I couldn't hold my tears being aware of all the fights we face in life. Thanks again.

Absolutely beautiful and So true

[@VincentFink]

I hope this is true because I've broken, beaten and scarred while I maintain a good attitude and positive light.

[@PlasticScot]

this is just absolutely incredible.

[@dirtynachobuffet]

Yes, I agree. This guy's voice nails it too.

[@uchemoses9994]

One of the greatest poems of all time for sure! Hard to beat this, what imagery, what depth of imaginative work!! "... Hold counsel with the stars"

[@tuckeryarbrough4110]

I need this narrator to do Man in the Arena by Teddy Roosevelt.

[@sammast8475]

It’s sad Chris Lines took down the other poems videos. I love them.

[@juanpadilla3203]

Holy shit... never heard this one. Thank you

[@nicholdas]

Who narrated this?

[@Bukhariphoenix]

Loudmusic dominated on poetry

[@kevinkwiek730]

Wait why does it say it’s 10 mins long and then be under 2 mins? I could of swore I listened to this before and there were other good narrations along with the common law of life one.

[@onyxrider1]

I can see this being an intro to a post apocalyptic movie/show

The struggle is all you need

[@SilentSoldier7]

The tree that never had to fight For sun and sky and air and light, But stood out in the open plain And always got its share of rain, Never became a forest king But lived and died a scrubby thing. The man who never had to toil To gain and farm his patch of soil, Who never had to win his share Of sun and sky and light and air, Never became a manly man But lived and died as he began. Good timber does not grow with ease, The stronger wind, the stronger trees, The further sky, the greater length, The more the storm, the more the strength. By sun and cold, by rain and snow, In trees and men good timbers grow. Where thickest lies the forest growth We find the patriarchs of both. And they hold counsel with the stars Whose broken branches show the scars Of many winds and much of strife. This is the common law of life.
