Tree

Every stage of development Is like the growth of a tree It starts at the beginning With the planting of a seed The seed spreads its roots Taking nutrition from the land God gives you knowledge And shows you there’s a plan As the roots take hold And the seed begins to grow God gives you strength As the winds begin to blow The light breaks through the soil And a bud begins to sprout God teaches you lessons And takes the demons out The bud breaks away From all it used to know It reaches for new heights And its spirit begins to glow It turns into a sapling As the rain comes pouring down To stimulate it’s growth So it can rise above the ground At the end of many seasons Lies a strong and sturdy tree With a plethora of knowledge And an infinite amount of seeds. _Shaman
