Tree of Life


Tree of Life

Planted into the dirt and soil of the ground
By a love of the planters hands is brought the mound
Watered from up above
Showers of rain in love
From a small seed to roots they crawl
You grow out and around springing up so tall
Above the ground light shines upon
From the day and night to breaking dawn
Growth begins and seasons begin strengthening life
Through beautiful days and storms of strife
You remain still to grow
Deepening your roots far as your branches swing and flow
From a seed, to roots, to limbs, to sprouts, and leaves
The planters brings all your needs
Storms beat upon, droughts come and go, the tree remains
Never it’s beauty it refrains
A tree of life full of green, branches reaching out, shading and protecting
Some around you' you see, never did they make it

"Oh beautiful tree, how deep are your roots?
You have come so far, yet you remain still beautiful
Oh tree of Life what color are your roots, I’ll never know
Till I taste your fruits you bear in your time and in your season"
