A Tree For All of Us
With twisted trunk of beauty,
From the ravages of time,
A city bears its name today,
Because Athena made of you,
Her chosen gift to the mortals,
Recounted still in Grecian myth.
The dove of peace and hope began,
By flying back to Noah,
A symbol from your branch,
That spoke of dry land past the waves,
A place of respite from the sea.
Both earth and peace were born anew,
From the settling storm,
And delivered with forgiveness,
Out of a rainbow sky,
By the leaf of life from you,
God's ageless olive tree.
