There Was A Tree

In the beginning…
There was a tree

One day, a single seed fell upon fertile ground
A falling leaf covered and caressed it tenderly
Sunshine and rain brought  it abundant nourishment
the wind blew soil and debris that blanketed its cradle
In due time, the seed sprang to life, and a sapling grew
It matured under Mother Nature’s constant care
Until it stood tall and proud in the morning light
Then, One day, a precious seed fell to the ground
And the cycle repeated as the years rolled on
A cycle with a noble beginning that resisted an end
Nothing stopped its noble pursuit and appointed purpose
Then another and another seed fell; many seeds fell
and they continued to fall until…
A forest was born. all because

in the beginning… 
There was a tree
