That Tree
Like a plant developed into a tree
is what my emotions had grown to be
Scared and confused I scampered away
but your love in my heart is engraved
Left with a plant deeply rooted in
desparately in need of nourishing
Five years passed and I wonder why
that plant is still there left to die
I water it and give it light
and watch it grow with much delight
And now I believe and now i see
that this is the most precious and beautiful tree
Blossoming with flowers for every season
Bearing fruits beyond reason
With a trunk so thick it cannot be cut
With leaves so green and stems so strong
And fruits that ripe all year long
A tree that defines all of my love
For you, the only one I think of
