The Tree of Life
I came upon a weeping tree
One branch bent to the ground
The rest had grown far out of reach
Untouched, except by clouds
I gave you shade and comfort
From the sun and pounding rain
And in return, with my branch
You took a soul
The tree of life explained
So no longer will this branch
Be set free to hold the light
Within it's leaves of green and gold
That cradled many lives
And in hope, this lesson teaches
With a single sacrifice
Learning more with changing seasons
Every life grows intertwined
