Hackberry trees are hardwoods with soft wood. They grow assertively and somewhat haphazardly, almost like a big weed. They can thrive in difficult places. Their only value is simply to be a tree, and that's enough.

Perhaps, given my weaknesses and flaws, it's enough that I'm me, and that I try to grow where I'm planted.
