The Tether of Our Souls
The Tether of Our Souls
People who plant the great oak trees
will never live to see the wonderful,
cool shade it will provide.
You see this act is not for only oneself,
but for all, a triumphal tribute
allowing all things to survive.
These acts of kindness,
the tether of our souls,
bring the ultimate reward
to so many branches,
it is wondrous to behold.
This gift to nature and mankind
comes from an unsullied origin,
a purity that resonates
through all things that are intertwined.
Soothing the soul of the source
will linger forever,
but it's the roots, limbs and leaves,
that bind us all together.
