Life of a Tree

Life of a Tree

by Brian, the old man

Tree

Seed is sprouting

Life has sprung

Breaking from the earth

Seasons pass

Ever growing

Tall and proud you stand

Roots are planted

Branches reaching

Toward the heaven’s sun

Home to many

Birds of flight

And creatures on the land

Winds are blowing

Storms are raging

As your branches bend

Canyon’s calling

You grasp tighter

To the Mother land

Rain is pouring

Dirt’s eroding

Your trunk begins to break

Now you’re falling

Can you make it

And bridge the other side

Wind is pushing

Branches reaching

You have reached your goal

Animals crossing

Birds are singing

Your destiny fulfilled

Bridge
