THE TREE OF LIFE

Upon this tree I leave my mark
Words of wisdom etched in bark
Look carefully and you will see
Spiritual messages upon this tree

The Tree of Life is truth and love
All branches reach to the skies above
To my own self I must be true
As one branch, I am a part of you

I am connected to the whole
My mind, my body and my soul
Of the Tree of Life I am a part
In God’s good care I entrust my heart

The Tree of Life is kind yet strong
There is no doubt I truly belong
The roots tunnel deep into the earth
They wait silently for new birth

My branch snaps off, they call it sad
But for many blessings I am so glad
When my physical body is dead and gone
My spirit continues to live on

Don’t mourn my friends, for too long
Through rustling leaves you’ll hear a song
To the ground, my leaves will gently fall
They are my special gifts that I give to all
