Roots of Life

In the jungle where animals roam free From atop the highest tree A seed falls to the ground In the earth, its' roots of life are found The mighty oak was once a seed An acorn with the instructions it needs To become what it was meant to be From the jungle floor it rises to become a sturdy tree The seeds of hope reside within our being In winter, there is the hope of spring When there's drought, there is the hope of rain When all seems lost, hope still remains In this vast universe love is king It's the reason for sunshine and rain The reason why we're here is plain The seeds of love dwell within all things
