A Blessing Tree

A Blessing Tree
                                                         
                                                         To
                                                        live
                                                     sail upon
                                               a blessed journey
                                         triumph over stormy seas
                                    sail with masts full and winds fair
                                ship loaded faithfully with gentle pleas 
                                                        that
                                                   rigidly stand 
                                              to honorably deliver
                                           all family and loved one's
                                        loving hearts and souls there
                                                        with
                                                      praising
                                                    salutations
                                                of life's blessings
                                                       upon
                                                       every
                                                       living
                                                       thing
