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
