Destiny

Cottonwood tree wedged between two buildings
Being whipped by the wind rubbed against two  
Ruff surfaces, how can survival happen

Constant change occurs never able to reach
The destiny God had prepared for you 
Dwarfed roots constricted needing room

Room to grow, room to express yourself
Is it to late for someone to save you?
Only God knows your future not man
