Moving On From the Gardern

On a dawn of October twenty ten, A sap was planted in a beautiful garden Watered by a mentoring community Nurtured by fertile soils of opportunity Sunned by founding principles of integrity And pruned by the edges of creativity It grew and grew into a fruitful tree, And its branches spread to the isles of the SEA With the guidance from superiors it could receive With the commitment, the fellow trees could weave Rest in the hands of The Gardener, who is to believe It went far beyond what it would otherwise achieve The perfect environment for growth it thought, With its dreams some fulfilled and some not One day ‘The Gardener’ wanted to move the tree, And re-plant it in a new place for it to be It’s painful to part with the garden and other fellow trees, It’s painful that the nurtured environment will cease But the tree has to trust the Gardener and move on That the new place is now the garden to grow on
